Title IX Training – We All Have a Role to Play: Supporting Students Impacted by Sexual Violence 

In the afternoon from 1-2:30 p.m., also in Bazarsky Lecture Hall, is a special session for faculty and staff that includes training on responsibilities regarding Title IX and the support of students. This session, called “We All Have a Role to Play: Supporting Students Impacted by Sexual Violence,” will be lead by special guest Jessica Teperow.

Faculty and staff develop supportive and meaningful relationships with students and colleagues, and the trust they have built may result in a disclosure of sexual violence.

It can be difficult to know what to do and what to say when a student shares an experience of gender-based violence. This workshop will enable attendees to provide a trauma-informed response and to know the resources that can support employees and students in this process.

Jessica Teperow

With more than two decades of experience working with organizations that address sexual and domestic violence, Jessica Teperow has extensive experience in the development and execution of prevention programs and trauma-informed practices within nonprofit, health care, corporate and academic settings.

She has worked with colleges and universities to develop policies and procedures to foster trauma-informed classrooms and enable faculty and staff to recognize, respond to and prevent gender-based violence.
