Signing the ������Ƶ Honor Principle is a long held tradition at Convocation. This year, new students, staff, and faculty signed a newly revised Honor Principle. 

������Ƶ “As a member of the ������Ƶ community, I will act with integrity in all personal, scholarly, and professional endeavors. I will respect the dignity and diversity of all persons and the rights and property of others. I will demonstrate concern for the wellbeing and needs of others by supporting an environment that enhances growth and development. ������Ƶ ” 

We believe that the Honor Principle is perhaps more important today than it has ever been. And, Wilson must be doing more to instill in our graduates the principles of leading an honorable life, which is greater than just don't lie, cheat, or steal, but is truly about living life as an honorable person. To that end, we created a task force of students, faculty, staff, alumnae, and alumni who worked to distill the Honor Principle and Honor Code down to an easily communicable statement that is inclusive of all members of our community and is more reflective of the College's mission, vision, and values.
