Student Conduct

     As a resident advisor, I gained knowledge of the beginning of the student conduct process through writing incident reports for student conduct violations.  However, I have little knowledge of what happens beyond the documentation of violations.  During my first semester in the College Student Personnel program, I did a project focused on the area of student conduct and interviewed the director of student conduct at Owens Community College.  The director of student conduct not only handles student conduct, but also acts as the liaison between students and mental health counselors in the outside community.  If I plan to work in an institution of higher education as a mental health counselor and graduate hall director, it is important for me to have knowledge of student conduct procedures.  Moreover, depending on the institution I work for, my work as a mental health counselor might overlap substantially with student conduct (i.e. working with students who have been brought through the disciplinary process).
