The College recognizes that the most effective way to achieve a campus free of sexual harassment, discrimination, and violence, including sexual violence, stalking, and relationship violence, is to equip all College community members with the skills to recognize and prevent sexual harassment and sexual misconduct. The College wants to ensure that all members of the College community understand and participate in shared standards of equity, inclusion, civility, and respect.
In order to achieve these goals, the College offers regular, ongoing training programs for all students and employees. The College is committed to ensuring that all employees understand how to respond to reports of sexual misconduct. All new students and all new employees will be provided with education in prevention and awareness of sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking.
