∑     Carrie announced that Lunt Time would be taking place this Wednesday, Nov. 13 at 10 PM in Lunt Café.  Come get free coffee and talk to members of Honor Council!  She also mentioned that the Community Outreach Committee would be making posters for this week's abstract discussion.

∑     Evelyn said that the Faculty Outreach Committee was trying to put together a panel discussion in which three faculty members would talk about their experiences with the Honor Code and students could ask them questions.  More details to come.  She also mentioned that the committee wants to hold a faculty-Honor Council Q&A session at the end of the semester.  Again, more details to come.

∑     Mary announced that Honor Council's diversity training would happen on Saturday, Nov. 16 from 1:30-3:30 PM.  This training is for Honor Council members only.

∑     Sam, who recently returned from a conference on Honor Codes at West Point, said that he had a good time, and that the conference hosted students from across the country.  The participants divided into groups of 10-12 and each group wrote its own Honor Code.  Sam remarked that the worst part of the conference was that each student seemed to think that his or her school's Honor Code was the best.  He said that the conference was nevertheless very worthwhile. 

∑     Steve told Council that they would need to find someone soon to post abstracts and minutes on the Honor Council website.  More information on the website to come soon.
