Young Leader's Forum

Plagiarism has been on the rise since the internet became an acceptable research resource.  Many students no longer realize what does and what does not constitute a breach of copyright.  Plagiarism can result in suspension and expulsion, therefore it is essential that students understand this academic misconduct. 

Doctor Lipson has spoken and written extensively about education and academic integrity. He authored Doing Honest Work in College: How to Prepare Citations, Avoid Plagiarism, and Achieve Real Academic Success.  Professor Lipson has spoken at numerous universities and delivered the keynote address to the Center for Academic Integrity's 2007 annual convention.  His classes are often filled to capacity and he is one of the most popular professors on the University of Chicago campus, where he teaches international relations. 
 
Each Young Leader's Forum will allow pre-selected students to introduce the speaker.  Please download our public speaking tips.  Student presenter roles for the Charles Lipson event are already filled. Please contact edu@wachouston.org if your students are interested in speaking opportunities at future Young Leader's Forums. 

The Young Leader’s Forum is a monthly series that puts students in direct contact with world leaders and experts. The goal of the Young Leader’s Forum is to prepare students for an interconnected world and to inspire them to be more effective leaders in their communities.
