The DNL Report

Librarians have created new academic integrity tutorials. These tutorials: 1) emphasize the importance of academic integrity as critical to membership in our Jesuit community, 2) foster mindsets that fully participate in scholarly conversation by engaging sources effectively and ethically, and 3) support the development of skills needed to avoid plagiarism.

The Library currently has four versions of the academic integrity tutorial:

1. Academic Integrity Tutorial for FYE Students - embedded in Blackboard for all FYE students.
2. Academic Integrity Tutorial for Undergraduates

He grew up with dreams of becoming a member of the knighthood in Spain, doing great deeds, and falling in love. But come 1521, Ignatius' dreams as a young man soon changed when he was severely injured on the battlefield. While he was recuperating, Ignatius unknowingly embarked on a spiritual journey, experiencing a religious conversion. He realized that God had a different set of plans for him and inspired by the life Jesus Christ led and the saints that followed after him, Ignatius Loyola gathered his own insights, prayers, and suggestions into his book, the Spiritual Exercises. With his friends, Ignatius founded the Society of Jesus--or better known as the Jesuits. In honor of the founding father of the Jesuit society,
