The Honor Committee named third-year College student Stephen Nash as Honor Committee Chair during the Committee's annual retreat held at Graves Mountain Lodge in Syria, Va. this weekend.
Committee members also chose Clifton Bumgardner as Vice chair for trials, Lindsey Tumperi as Vice chair for investigations, Mary Kidd as Vice chair of education and Anne Russell Gregory as Vice chair of community relations.
"We're really excited about our successors," current Darden School Representative Bryan West said. "Even after we leave office, we'll continue meeting with them to ensure efficient transition."
As soon as the Committee elected its executive body, members began training to "effectively pass down institutional memory," Nash said.
Bumgardner said the new officers have already begun considering their administration's goals for the upcoming year.
"It is a tremendous responsibility to be elected, and we have the obligation to represent the views of students to the Committee," Bumgardner said. "Our goal is to really drive home the importance of honor in representing the entire student body about the system we have."
Nash said he ran for chair to further engage certain aspects of the University community with Honor.
"We have a tremendous opportunity to reach out to the community and have substantial conversations about what honor means to everyone," Nash said. "We want our committee to do the best they can to represent those views."
Committee members said they were eager to begin planning for their upcoming term, which begins April 2.
"We haven't had [a] specific goal planning meeting yet, but we are going to set the agenda early for the coming year," Nash said. "We're excited to get the ball rolling immediately."
Honor blogger Blair Hawkins, Pat Lampkin, Vice president and chief student affairs officer and Honor's legal advisor Rachel Satira also accompanied the Committee this weekend.
