All University staff, faculty, and employees are required to complete Binghamton University’s online training annually. The modules within the training include workplace discrimination and harassment; preventing sexual misconduct (Title IX), and others.
Incoming students (graduate and undergraduate) are required to complete online interpersonal violence prevention training. The training consists of educational modules on sexual assault prevention, bystander intervention, and creating a respectful college culture. In addition to the federal and state mandates, institutional policies and campus/community resources are provided. Particular attention is given to dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. New undergraduate students are also required to attend an in-person session coordinated by the 20:1 program that focuses on interpersonal/sexual violence prevention and bystander intervention.
Current students are offered a variety of ongoing learning and engagement opportunities throughout the year from Health Promotion & Prevention Services, Interpersonal Violence Prevention, and the VARCC. Examples of events sponsored by these offices in the past include 20:1 Talks, the Dragon Panel Project, the Clothesline Project, Paint the Town Purple, the Lunch/Supper and Learn series, Domestic Violence/Stalking/Sexual Assault Awareness Month events, and more.
