Honesty, integrity, responsibility and respect. These are the core principles of the Elon Honor code.
The 12th annual Call to Honor ceremony will take place on Sept. 14 in Alumni Gym at 9:40 a.m. and provides an opportunity for incoming students to make a pledge the Elon’s core principles.
This fall tradition allows campus leaders and faculty to share their expectations of students to live by the core principles of the honor code. Students sign their name of the honor code and receive an honor coin. Last year, the members of the class of 2020 received a coin that was inscribed with the word “honor”.
The call to honor ceremony is very important to our community because it reaffirms our contentment to a very important code of conduct and values that reside at the core of our campus community.
- Paul Miller, Assistant Provost
Each class represents a different value and each class president lights a candle on stage to represent the four core values. “These values are the bedrock on which our academic community rests,” assistant provost Paul Miller said.
