At Colgate University, we believe honesty and integrity are fundamental in a community dedicated to learning, personal development, and a search for understanding. We revere these values and hold them essential in promoting personal responsibility, moral and intellectual leadership, and pride in ourselves and our University.
As Colgate students, we will represent ourselves truthfully, claim only work that is our own, and engage honestly in all academic assignments.
Since articulated standards and expectations can influence attitudes, and because each of us shares the responsibility for maintaining academic integrity, we are committed to upholding the Academic Honor Code.
The Writing and Speaking Center is committed to helping all Colgate students succeed as clear, effective communicators.
Peer consultants in the center work one-on-one with students, offering suggestions for revision and helping writers and speakers experience their work from a reader or listener's perspective. The consultants can also direct students to resources and answer questions about academic writing or speaking.
Students are encouraged to visit at any stage of their process, from prewriting to polishing. Although our consultants are not experts in all topics, they can help writers and speakers clarify ideas and communicate them effectively.
