As members of online communities, we work to make choices that uphold our commitment to the BB&N School Motto: Honor, Scholarship, Kindness. We acknowledge that how we choose to use technology and show up online is an expression of who we are. Those choices represent us and can create a permanent digital footprint that may be accessed even if deleted.*
You are responsible for your online reputation and for protecting your and others’ privacy.
