Keeping up with the PACE: Personal Accountability Within Community Expectations
The Keeping up with the PACE workshop is a two-hour session designed to educate students about the expectations of the University of Cincinnati. The course allows students to reflect on the concept of living by a code of behavior. Throughout the workshop, students are challenged to reflect on their own personal code, to consider the university’s code and to find ways to make these codes work by acknowledging that at times there will be a conflict between the two. The ultimate goal of the workshop is for students to walk away understanding that a code is pivotal to attending a healthy, supportive and viable living community for their academic endeavors and to discuss how their individual actions impact the university community.
Ethical Decision Making Workshop
The Office of Judicial Affairs offers a discussion-based workshop in Ethical Decision Making focusing on the fundamentals of ethics vs. morals, ethics in the media and practical application of ethical principles in everyday situations. The workshop encourages student participants to explore how character and integrity are developed and how these concepts are reflected in society's values through the use of TV and movie clips, current events and discussion. The goal of the workshop is to help students reflect on their character and how making sound ethical decisions can influence family, friends, community and society to do the same.
