I'm excited about being an academic integrity ambassador because I believe in creating a culture where honesty and integrity are valued. Instead of just talking about the consequences of cheating, I want to show students how to avoid it. By organizing workshops on paraphrasing and referencing, I hope to give them practical skills for writing papers ethically.
My goal is to help students see that academic integrity isn't just about following rules, it's about respecting the work of others and being proud of their own. When students understand why honesty matters in their academic journey, they're more likely to make ethical choices.
Ultimately, I want to be part of building a community where everyone feels confident in their abilities and proud of their accomplishments, knowing they achieved them the right way. By promoting integrity, I hope to create an environment where learning flourishes and everyone has a fair chance to succeed.

As an international student, I have experienced the challenges of adapting to a new academic environment and this is why I am keen to join the Academic Integrity Ambassador Program at the ³ÉÈË´óƬ.

As an international student, I know firsthand the challenges of navigating a new academic ecosystem. That's why I'm thrilled to be an Academic Integrity Ambassador! Academic integrity is a territory that we could overlook without actually understanding its importance, whether it be at the university level or something that we should be practicing at our jobs too. Through collaboration and gamified activities that the program intends to bring throughout the year, it would be very interesting to foster a culture of integrity while enhancing our own selves.Ìý

I am truly delighted to be able to join the Academic Integrity Ambassador Program at the ³ÉÈË´óƬ. Academic integrity is one of the crucial cornerstones that revamps the academic as well as the professional journey of a true learner. This is a delicate concept in the sense that it is difficult to achieve but facile to lose. Universities are the best places to practice this ideology and support is required to reap the most positive externalities of this endeavor. This is where the Academic Integrity Ambassador team works, and as a member, I am happy to assist my colleagues and fellow students to practice integrity throughout their academic journey.

I joined the Academic Integrity Ambassador program because I want to raise awareness on the importance of upholding integrity in the work that we do in uni. As a student who has struggled a lot with her essays and gradually improved herself with hard work, I understand how difficult, yet rewarding it is to truly experience the learning process of essay writing. Many students are misguided into thinking that seeking shortcuts to obtain good grades is beneficial, when it actually does not improve one's skills at the end of their degree. When one learns to write effectively, academic integrity seamlessly becomes a part of one's studies, without having to put extraÌýeffort into avoiding plagiarism.ÌýI am very excitedÌýto be a part of this esteemed program and looking forward to educating others,Ìýgrowing as a person as well as working with the talented team.

I am honored to join the Academic Integrity Ambassador Program at the ³ÉÈË´óƬ. As a Master's student in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, I am passionate about combining my academic expertise with my Filmmaking skills to foster a culture of integrity within our university community.

My primary goal as an Academic Integrity Ambassador is to educate students in a friendly and approachable manner. I aim to leverage my videography skills to create a short series of informative videos that provide practical tools and strategies to avoid academic misconduct. These videos will be designed to engage students, making the learning process enjoyable and impactful.

One of my key objectives is to spread awareness about how academic misconduct can often occur unintentionally. Many students may not realize that certain actions constitute misconduct, and I want to help them understand these nuances. By raising awareness, I hope to prevent inadvertent breaches and promote a deeper understanding of what academic integrity truly means.

Academic misconduct is not just an act of dishonesty towards others; it is a disservice to oneself. It can lead to regret and negative consequences in the future. Through my efforts, I want to ensure that students recognize the long-term value of integrity in their academic and professional journeys.

By fostering a supportive and informed community, we can create an environment where students feel confident in their abilities and proud of their achievements, knowing they have earned them through honest and ethical practices. I am excited to contribute to this mission and positively impact our academic community.
