Guidelines for HIPE Presentations

 

Use these guidelines whether you are presenting to a class, a campus organization, a sorority or fraternity, a residence hall audience, or an audience of faculty. The more that the message is the same, the more students and faculty will know what to do or how to live within the Honor System.
