Abstract: Join the Commission for Student Conduct & Legal Issues and the Commission for Global Dimensions of Student Development in a Dial-A-Dialogue that will address what leaders of faculty-led study abroad programs need to know in preparing students for their experiences abroad with respect to policy information and on-site emergency situations. A panel of professionals who work closely with education abroad and student conduct issues will lead a discussion and take questions from participants that will address issues affecting students. Panels will be touching upon the role of social media, the use of technology for student conduct purposes while the student is abroad, and how to potentially translate conduct and academic integrity issues into hearings and suspensions while abroad. Participants should leave the dialogue with the ability to formulate the beginning steps to develop a plan to address conduct issues with students who they take abroad.
