New Award Recognizes Faculty Volunteers for Academic Integrity Service, Impact

Two faculty volunteers with the Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence (CTLE)’s academic integrity program  received a new internal award recognizing their achievements in maintaining academic integrity standards and policies across the University.

Academic Integrity Outstanding Service Awards were presented to Aileen Gallagher, associate dean for academic affairs in the Newhouse School of Public Communications, and Laura Lisnyczyj, assistant teaching professor of languages, literatures and linguistics in the College of Arts and Sciences.

The recipients “go well above and beyond for our department,” says Kate Marzen, CTLE assistant director of academic expectations. “We could not fulfill our responsibilities and commitment to the Syracuse community without the amazing volunteers involved in this program.”

Gallagher has been deeply involved with academic integrity, Marzen says. During the 2024-25 academic year, Gallagher served as academic integrity coordinator for the Newhouse School, spearheading campaigns to share procedural updates, creating a sense of faculty buy-in and modeling positive academic integrity collaborations. She previously supported the academic integrity office in every possible capacity, providing comprehensive case submission, faculty interview completion and faculty panelist service. “These are roles that require diligence, attention to detail and balance between student empathy and policy implementation, which Aileen has mastered,” Marzen says.

Lisnyczyj continually provides valuable feedback from a faculty perspective, which has helped the academic integrity team improve the academic integrity seminar, faculty reporting forms and policy violation and sanction classification rubric, Marzen says. “She is also an academic integrity champion in the classroom, helping students navigate situations and questions, modeling positive academic integrity behavior and teaching the importance of self-advocacy, following course/assignment expectations and asking questions if a student lacks clarity. Her unrelenting student-centeredness and focus makes her beyond deserving of this award,” Marzen says.

The academic integrity team implements and supports the University’s academic integrity policies and procedures. They work with faculty, instructors, students and staff to promote understanding of the University’s academic integrity policy and coordinate its administration, and they maintain records of all academic integrity cases. The team also creates online resources for classroom use, joins faculty in making academic integrity presentations and is available for consultation about academic integrity standards. The team consists of two full-time employees, several part-time student panelists, a spring practicum student and a pool of volunteers.
