Academic Integrity and Teaching Responsibility in the College Classroom

In this session, Dr. Shannon Lynn Burton (MSU Ombudsperson) will present key strategies in discussing the importance of academic integrity, as well as in preventing misconduct, both in its more traditional forms, as well as in the digital space. 

Additionally, university policies and procedures in responding to misconduct will be explored to assist you in navigating these conversations.

Participants will have the chance to discuss scenarios and think about strategies for how to communicate clearly with students including discussions about AI.

This session is part of the 2026 Spring GTA Preparation Program.
