Do you ROAR?

At Penn State Beaver, we embrace the Penn State Principles, and we've provided additional information and resources for members of the campus community to use as they integrate these ideals into their daily lives.

 

Respect

I will respect the dignity of all individuals within the Penn State community.

Easy Ways to Live the Principle:

  • Treat everyone with respect and civility.
  • Discourage racism, sexism, and bigotry.
  • Look past stereotypes to the uniqueness of each person.
  • Be tolerant of those different than yourself.
  • Seek opportunities to socialize outside your group.

  • Turn in the same assignment in more than one class only if the instructor approves it.
  • Collaborate on projects only when approved by your professor.
