Welcome
from the Office of Judicial Affairs here at Georgia Southern University. My
role as the Director of the Judicial Affairs is to educate students, faculty and
staff about the rights and responsibilities of our students according to the
Code of Student Conduct. One aspect of our mission is “to
uphold the academic and behavioral standards of the University by adjudicating
violations of the Student Conduct Code in a fair and consistent manner, treating
each student with dignity and respect.” With that in mind, you need to know that
the Office of Judicial Affairs is here for you! We expect Georgia Southern
students to adopt “an informed set of ethics and values” that will make them
better citizens at Georgia Southern University, in their hometowns, and wherever
they may settle after graduation.
As a unit of the Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management the Dean of Students Office upholds the values of the division by putting STUDENTS FIRST! It is my duty to serve the students by educating through counseling, programming, and mediation.
