Greetings Staff, Students, and Faculty:
The Title IX Office is still seeking feedback from you.

We have extended the feedback response time through Monday, May 10th!
- Access: Title IX Feedback Link, or you may access through my.involvement
Missed April Sexual Assault Awareness Programs and Initiatives?

Unfortunately, either the sessions held were not for open access, or the workshops facilitated were not recorded. We plan to record a few helpful support “What To Do” sessions for faculty and staff over the summer and post via Moodle and other platforms.
Thank you to everyone who participated, shared input, or helped promote and plan. And a BIG thank you to The Coalition, Its on Us, and the Title IX Office volunteers!
Take care,
