The Stevens Honor Board just ran this very successful event called "I ATE A DONUT & I do nut cheat" which consisted of giving out donuts and coffee to students in the library who pledged to maintain and keep the Stevens Honor System in mind especially during Finals.
What is the honor system you may ask... well, it is one of the foundations of the institution. All students sign the honor code before coming to Stevens and put it on all submissions. The point of the code as stated by the website:
"The Honor System at Stevens was developed to fulfill two objectives. It insures that work submitted by students can be trusted as their own and was performed in an atmosphere of honesty and fair play. A secondary function of the Honor System is to promote, both on the campus and in the individual student, a sense of honor in preparation for the professional world.
In order for this Honor System to be effective, the continued
support and cooperation of the student body, faculty, and administration is needed. In addition, the Honor System's governing body, the Honor Board, serves to ensure that the integrity of the system is upheld."
