Introduction to Restorative Justice
USD has adopted Restorative Justice processes and philosophies as a new model for addressing student conduct issues. Rather than seeing misconduct as a violation of rules, Restorative Justice views wrongdoing primarily as a violation of interpersonal relationships. As such, the wrongdoer has an obligation to make things right.
Traditional models of student discipline typically ask three main questions:
1. What rules were broken?
2. Who broke them?
3. What should their sanction be?
A restorative approach asks three very different questions:
1. Who has been hurt?
2. What do they need?
3. Whose obligations and responsibilities is it to meet these needs?
To learn more, please attend the webinar below. Please RSVP to Mariann Sanchez (marianns@sandiego.edu) by October 19 as lunch will be provided. Any questions can be directed to Marie Minnick or Sean Horrigan.

Women of Impact Nominations
The Women’s Center is now accepting nominations for the 2012 Women of Impact Awards. Members of the university community are invited to nominate female students, faculty, administrators and staff who have had a profound impact on the USD community through their work and connection with others.
All nominees will receive an invitation to attend the 15th Annual Women of Impact Luncheon on Friday, December 7 where they will be honored as strong women exhibiting leadership and positively influencing the USD community.
A diverse group of USD community members will review the nominations and select one student, one staff, one administrator and one faculty to receive this year’s awards. Recipients’ names will be displayed on a plaque hanging in the Women’s Center.
The Women’s Center encourages you to participate in the tradition of honoring USD women by submitting a nomination. The nomination form can be found at sandiego.edu/womenscenter under “Women of Impact”. Thank you for your support of this important tradition!
