THE C.O.C. WEBSITE
Designed for the ease of access and the purpose to constantly evolve, the C.O.C. website makes simply the the process of interacting with one another within the institution.
Intended to function like a handbook, community members can easily navigate the website through the chapters listed on the left, and/or the common keywords on the right. Pathways to reporting undesirable behaviours are also detailed and are always visible on the page, highlighted in yellow. Further definition of certain words are also provided. If you feel something could use further clarification, please feel comfortable to contact the editorial team at .
BEING TOGETHER
Being together are two simple yet tremendously complex words. What does it mean to share a space together? What are the necessary negotiations and how does one care? The editorial team caught up with the Executive Board and some students at DAE to find out their perspectives and what the DAE Code of Conduct means to them.
