Approximately 1.1 million people run a marathon each year in the United States, which is less than 1% of the American population. Last weekend, myTEAM TRIUMPH West Michigan helped 18 individuals with disABILITIES cross the finish line at the Grand Rapids Marathon. MyTEAM TRIUMPH works year-round to give athletes with disABILITIES their chance to participate in marathons. Foster Swift is grateful for the opportunity to support such a wonderful organization.

Every university has a set of rules known as the "Academic Codes of Conduct," which outlines expectations for both academic and non-academic behavior, including issues like Academic Dishonesty. If a student is found in violation of these codes, particularly concerning academic dishonesty, they risk suspension or expulsion. An expulsion from one university can also hinder their chances of admission to another. Learn more about the Codes of Conduct today: https://lnkd.in/gDzFTSbf #CodesofConduct #AcademicDishonesty
