The Honor Code
Inspired by the Honor Codes at Caltech and Haverford College, the Summer Science Program Code of Honor expresses the shared values that promote a culture of integrity, collaboration, inclusion, and respect. Participants, faculty, and staff must abide by our Code of Honor to ensure the smooth functioning of the whole Summer Science Program community. The Summer Science Program Code of Honor states:
“Every participant and faculty member of the Summer Science Program community is expected to practice personal and academic integrity, including honesty, trust, consideration, and mutual respect, and to take responsibility for their words and actions. No one will denigrate or take unfair advantage of any other person.”
- You will be a trusted and respected member of a diverse community that embraces each other’s differences, cares about one another, and resolves conflicts through respectful communication.
- You will conduct yourself with academic integrity and submit work that reflects your own understanding.
Admitted applicants are also provided with a Participant Handbook describing in detail Summer Science Program’s unique design, traditions, and expectations for behavior. You can share it with your parent or guardian and reach out with any questions before deciding whether to participate.
