Workplace harassment is a decades-old problem, and given the current events, prevention training is important as ever. The context of this training not only speaks to current events, but it is also strategically aligned with our college’s commitment to improve campus climate and to create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive campus community. This responsibility rests with all of us.

If you have any questions about the training, please contact the Office of Human Resources at 607-274-8000 or your faculty or staff council representative.
