Abstract: Graduate students are engaged in both learning and research. In each area, they have a responsibility to themselves and to their peers -- a responsibility to conduct themselves in a professional manner according to accepted principles of ethics. We will review the guiding principles in the university setting, their reason for existence, their consequences in terms of daily behavior in the classroom, in the laboratory, and in the scholarly community in general. We will also briefly review some of the many documents that the University provides in this area for students and faculty that can help guide their behavior in teaching and research.
