Beyond the Title IX Investigation: What Else Can We Do When a Student Comes to Us?

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: This session is designed for faculty, classified professionals, and managers who want to better understand how to actually support someone who discloses a Title IX concern — beyond knowing who to call. Most of us know we're supposed to report. But what happens after that? If you've ever felt uncertain about what to say, what options exist, or whether the process actually helps — you're not alone.

More Than a Policy: Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Students Under Title IX

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: This session is designed for classified professionals, managers, and faculty who interact with students and want to understand their responsibilities in supporting pregnant and parenting students under Title IX. This training helps you respond with both confidence and compassion. A student mentions they're pregnant and needs some flexibility — do you know what you're required to do? What you can't do?

Where's the Line? Understanding Free Speech and Hate Speech in Educational Settings

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: This session is designed for classified professionals, managers, and faculty who interact with students and colleagues and want to better understand the legal and institutional boundaries around free expression on campus.
