The goals for Integrity Awareness Days include:

• Increasing awareness about the university’s Academic Initiatives and Integrity office and resources.
• Education on issues related to academic and professional ethics.
• Promotion of honesty and ethical decision-making in all aspects of student-life.

The office of Academic Initiatives and Integrity strives to create a culture of honesty and personal and professional responsibility among the University of Arkansas community. Integrity Awareness Days serves as an outreach opportunity to enhance this culture by providing information and promoting integrity and ethical decisions beyond the academic realm, where students will find opportunities to reflect and think about the choices and habits they are creating for themselves now and how they impact their future, beyond the University of Arkansas.
