Integrity in Action: KPU Student Poster Showcase

As part of this year’s Academic Integrity Month, we are excited to present the Integrity in Action: KPU Student Poster Showcase, inviting students to share their experiences, reflections, and learning about academic integrity, while providing an opportunity for student voices and perspectives to be heard on this important topic. Through this initiative, we hope to celebrate academic integrity and promote a culture of learning with integrity across KPU. 

Students who are interested in participating in this competition, must create and submit a poster that responds to the prompt below, along with a one-minute video introduction. The Contest begins at 10:00 AM PT on Monday, August 31, 2026 and ends at 4:00 PM PT on Friday, October 16, 2026. 

Academic Integrity Student Poster

Poster Prompt:

Every student encounters moments that shape who they become as learners and future professionals.

  • Reflect on an experience at KPU that helped you better understand the importance of academic integrity in your field of study.
  • Why was the experience meaningful to you? How has this experience influenced your growth as a student and future professional? 
  • Create a poster that visually tells your story and represents your reflection and learning. 

All poster submissions need to be accompanied by a 1-minute video with yourself on camera explaining your ideas, rationale, and the process took to create the poster. The video does not need to be edited, we are using the video to help us better understand how you arrived at the poster that you created.
