Re: An invitation for grad leaders - violence prevention training

[Science Policy Initiative scipolnd]

 Hi,

Sasha here. I can't go. I have bridesmaids coming into town tonight for my bridal shower tomorrow. But I agree, it sounds like it would have been a good event to attend.

Hi Exec,

 

I think SPI should be represented at this meeting, it is such an important topic. Unfortunately I don't think I can go. 

Is anyone available/interested?

 

Thanks, 

Lexi C.

Dear Grad Club Leaders,

This Friday we are hosting our first ever grad-student specific bystander intervention training, and we want you to come! As leaders on our campus and of our graduate community, your influence matters. Being trained to stand up for the values of respect and safety we strive for will make you a more effective leader and will give you the tools to help us create the campus environment we want for all.

The information on training is given below. Please encourage all of your club members to attend. Thanks!

Violence & Discrimination Prevention Training for Grads
Friday, September 13, 5:00-9:00 p.m., 210 Duncan Student Center

Research has shown that having engaged and active bystanders is among the best ways to prevent violence and discrimination in a community. Grad Life has worked with the Gender Relations Center and greeNDot to create a bystander training curriculum specifically for graduate and professional students at Notre Dame. The tools you learn in this interactive session prepare you to identify concerning behaviors, examine the barriers we all have to taking action, and learn effective ways to get around those barriers to take safe and appropriate action in almost any situation of potential violence or discrimination. 

Dinner from Noodle Alley will be served, and will include vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.

Register online now! And if you have any questions, please email me at mbe...@nd.edu. 

Grace & Peace,

Mimi Beck
