About the Code
The Wilkes Honors College Community Code was developed by a group of students specially nominated by members of the faculty and staff. The students proposed the code to the faculty, who then unanimously endorsed it on March 25, 2011. The Community Code will now become part of our fall Convocation Ceremony and, along with the new mission, principles, and vision statements, will be displayed prominently throughout Honors College facilities.
Thank you to those students actively involved in drafting the code:

- Drew Culler

- Megan Geiger
- Christina Turn
