Sexual Harrasment and Domestic Violence: “How to Prevent, Protect and Report” will be the featured topic of discussion at the next critical conversation workshop scheduled for 3 p.m. Monday, Feb. 26 in the Student Leadership Conference Center, Room 202 (right outside the Student Activities Office).
Sandra McCarthy, campus Title IX and Judicial Due Process coordinator; Claudine Potvin-Giordano, director of the Health Services, and Terry Buchannon, campus safety officer, will lead a discussion on how students can identify, prevent, and report if they are being sexual harassed or are victims of domestic violence.
The main objective of the workshop is to ensure all students are able to pursue their education without the fear of harassment and abuse, in any setting, according to Louis Coplin, director of Student Life. Coplin added that students need to be aware of how to defend themselves, where they may get help, and not be afraid of filing a complaint or report.
Critical conversations is part of the year-long Lead Educate Achieve and Develop (LEAD@HVCC) series coordinated by the Student Activities Office. The weekly topics range from leadership development skills and critical conversations that debate some of the days current issues.
Please encourage your students to attend. For more information, contact the Student Activities Office at 629-7348.
