Library and Learning Services is pleased to announce the creation of the Centre of Student Academic Excellence under the leadership of Danielle Palombi. The new Centre of Student Academic Excellence will bring together Tutoring Services and the soon to be launched Academic Integrity Office (AIO). The Centre will work in close collaboration with Library User Services including the First Year Academic Skills Liaison Librarian and the Faculty Liaison Librarians to provide academic integrity facilitation services, academic integrity outreach initiatives and academic skills development support. An Academic Integrity Office (AIO) will be located in each of the three Learning Commons, with operations reporting to Danielle Palombi, Manager, Centre of Student Academic Excellence. The AIO staff will include an Academic Integrity Facilitator (facilitation and outreach) as well as peer support in the form of Student Academic Integrity Ambassadors. The first of the Academic Integrity Office will open in October in the Trafalgar Learning Commons with plans to open Academic Integrity Offices at each of the campuses in the coming year. For further information on Academic Integrity and the Sheridan initiative, please have a look at the Academic Integrity Report 2016 prepared by Library and Learning Services.
