Volunteer Opportunities

The Office of Community Standards is looking for staff to volunteer in the student conduct process. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me by email or phone, if you have any interest or questions. All positions are on an as-needed basis depending on the conduct cases our office receives and volunteer availability. OCS provides a training via Zoom for all opportunities. 

• Conduct Counselor. Conduct Counselors are trained individuals who agree, on a voluntary basis, to provide private support to parties (Responding Students and Reporting Parties) in cases in which they are not involved. Conduct counselors are available for parties (in most cases typically a Responding Student) to speak with candidly about their case throughout the process. Note: this is different from OCS staff roles in the conduct process – the Conduct Counselor is not investigating or making any decisions about the alleged violations. Conduct Counselor Interest Form
• Conduct/Hearing Panelist. Conduct Panelists are individuals who are qualified and receive training to serve on Hearing Panels and the Appeal Panel for individual Fundamental Standard and Honor Code cases. Conduct Panelists review contested charges during hearings, determine whether a Responding Student is responsible for alleged violation(s), and determine sanction(s) if applicable. Hearings consists of three panelists (two students, one faculty/staff) for mid-level cases and five panelists (three students, two faculty/staff) for high-level cases. Individual Panelist Interest Form
