Violence protection training sessions set

Here is an update to information all faculty and staff should have received last week on the federally mandated training the university is providing to help all employees protect students from relationship violence. 

This is new training mandated in the federal Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act and is required of all SIU Carbondale faculty, staff, graduate assistants and undergraduate student employees. If you supervise student employees, please note that they must attend a training session during normal work hours. New and incoming students previously received an email concerning online and in-person training designed specifically for students. Student employees also must attend one of the employee sessions listed below. 

The training will last for 90 minutes, and sessions are scheduled at various times during the first week of the fall semester. Please pick the training session that best fits your normal work hours, and remember to bring your faculty/staff ID card. Pre-registration is not required. Here is an updated schedule:
