In a closed session last night, the Honor Committee elected Leigh Paulin, representative for the School of Continuing and Professional Studies, as the new vice chairwoman for services.
She replaces Scott Sottile who, citing personal reasons and disillusionment with the system, resigned from the position and quit the Committee last Sunday.
In her new position, Paulin will run the Bad Check Committee, which works with Charlottesville and Albemarle County merchants to ensure they accept personal checks from University students.
Paulin has lived in Charlottesville for six years, where she works for the Association for Investment Management and Research, an international non-profit organization.

She emphasized her position as both a resident of Charlottesville and a student would make her an excellent go-between for the two sides to solve Check Committee issues.
"I'm excited to be able to bring both views to the table from the U.Va. and Charlottesville communities," she said.
Paulin began her collegiate career at William and Mary, but was forced to withdraw after only two years after being injured in an automobile accident.
This is Paulin's second year attending the University, where she is enrolled in the Interdisciplinary Studies program, the only degree-conferring program in the School of Continuing Professional and Educational Studies. Paulin was appointed to represent the University's newest school at the end of April.
"We're very happy to have Leigh on the Executive Committee," Honor Committee Chairman Thomas Hall said. "She adds the perspective of both non-traditional students and Charlottesville residents"
