Who we are
The Academic Integrity Ambassadors are a student-led team, and together they decide how they can best promote Academic Integrity throughout the university. AIAs are students who volunteer their time and work hard to create opportunities for engagement. If you would like to support this programme, here are some ways you can do this:
- If AIAs are in your module or department, they may ask you for opportunities to speak to the students. It would be great to support them in this by responding and arranging opportunities for them, such as setting aside some class time for them to speak.
- If you learn about faculty events which could be a good opportunity for the AIAs to engage with students and staff, invite them to join along.
- You could work with them to co-create resources about Academic Integrity
- You could become a link to the AIAs meaning that you would be willing to receive emails about their activities and promote their events
Our activities
Some of the AIAs’ most recent activities include:
- Setting up an information table at the Post Graduate Research Festival 2024 where they handed out information about Academic Integrity and engaged students in an online quiz
