As you know, Plagiarism Education Week is just around the corner, taking place from April 22-26. To make this week a success, we need participation from Turnitin's enormous educational communitym which spans over 125 countries, to help us amplify this important message that "Originality Matters."

There are many ways for you to participate in raising awareness for plagiarism education among your colleagues and students during Plagiarism Education Week—here are a few:

1. Join one of the five live or on-demand webinars featuring prominent voices in education and integrity.

2. Share Plagiarism Education Week with your friends and colleagues on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or your blog. We’re using the hashtag #PlagEdWeek

3. Take 5 minutes in your classes to talk to your students about your expectations of citation and original work.

4. Send us your story—whether it’s a story of challenge, triumph, frustration, or joy—you’ve no doubt experienced a pivotal plagiarism problem.
