The Title IX & Equity Office provides training for staff, faculty and students at the university. We provide educational materials and programming for the campus community to promote a welcoming and inclusive environment and to prevent all forms of discrimination. Your Title IX & Equity Office is available for you whenever you need us. Please let us know if you have questions, require resource information and/or have a specific training need.
