The academic integrity initiative at Smeal began in the college’s tight-knit MBA program as a partnership among students, faculty, and passionate alumni. Driven by students in the program, the academic integrity initiative grew quickly and has been expanded to the entire Smeal community. Individuals from the original group of passionate MBAs have moved on the roles at companies such as DuPont and Goldman Sachs – companies that are no strangers to honor and integrity initiatives. The goals of the academic integrity initiative - integrate honesty, integrity, and accountability - are foundational elements of the Smeal Graduate Programs experience. Today, as new graduate students enter their respective programs, they pledge to adhere to the tenets of the Smeal Honor Code and to hold their classmates accountable as well.
