Introducng the Community Conduct Intern Program
Community Conduct Interns work with the staff at the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards to uphold and promote a strong culture of support, education, and citizenship at Duke. Interns will bridge the gap between the Office and the student body. Interns will help shape policies and create informed decisions about the future of the OSCCS.
Interns will meet a minimum of once weekly with staff and other interns to work on projects. Interns will also serve on the Student Conduct Board and as Peer Advisors. This experience is a great way for students to make tangible changes at Duke, help create an informed community, and foster a strong relationship between the student body and OSCCS. In the previous year, Community Conduct Interns have worked on initiatives surrounding hate and bias incidents.
Prospective interns should have strong interpersonal skills, analytical thinking, and a passion for driving change. For additional information about previous interns’ experiences, please contact current intern: Annie Feibel (abf21@duke.edu).

The Office of Student Conduct & Community Standards (OSCCS) is proud to announce the opening of Student Conduct Board (SCB) panelist applications for the 2023-2024 academic year. Applications will close on February 24, 2023. 
The SCB is a group of students, faculty, and staff appointed to hear alleged infractions of university policy. The board is charged with determining whether a student’s/student group’s actions constitute a violation of university policy and if so, issue an appropriate outcome.
OSCSS is looking for open-minded students (undergraduate, graduate, and professional students) that care about accountability and desire to contribute to upholding the Duke Community Standard. OSCCS is interested in students who believe in peer-to-peer education and feel comfortable advocating and collaborating with other students, staff, and faculty regarding diverse alleged infractions of university policies. The SCB will be a beneficial personal and professional development opportunity for any student looking to increase their involvement within the Duke community.  
If this sounds like an opportunity you know a student would like to pursue, please encourage them to complete this application here by February 24, 2023. Please visit our website for more information about the SCB process within OSCCS. If you or any student have questions about the application, do not hesitate to contact Assistant Dean of Students, Adric Hardy (adric.hardy@duke.edu), and Senior Program Coordinator, Aaron Lash Jr. (aaron.lash@duke.edu).

Food Insecurity Resources
Over the past two semesters, the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards (OSCCS) has received a significant number of Bryan Center Book Store theft reports from Duke University Police Department. Students should be aware that stealing items from the Bryan Center Book Store, or any other location is considered a violation of the Duke Community Standard. Students should also be aware there are staff dedicated to loss prevention and all theft incidents will be referred to OSCCS for disciplinary action.
