SCC kicked off three-part Title IX training series

Published: 06/13/2016

Joining forces with St. Louis region colleges and universities, including St. Louis University (SLU), Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) and others, St. Charles Community College’s Title IX coordinator, Sylvia Edgar, participates in a quarterly roundtable that serves as a resource for local and regional Title IX administrators.

The group discusses ideas on policy development, availability of affordable and relevant training opportunities, and recent developments on national level topics.

Area Title IX administrators gathered for training on Working With Campus Crime Victims With Disabilities and Special Victim Populations this May at St. Charles Community College.

To address the need for affordable and relevant training opportunities, Edgar contacted the Department for Justice Programs-Office for Victims of Crime to create a free, three-part training series customized to this region.

SCC kicked off the series in May by hosting a two-day training that focused on Working With Campus Crime Victims With Disabilities and Special Victim Populations. Regional educational intuitions and social service agencies were invited to attend.

“SCC employees had an opportunity to meet and network with colleagues from local educational institutions and learn how other campuses address issues,” Edgar said.

Upcoming trainings will be held on SLU’s and WUSTL’s campuses and will cover Enhancing Collaborative Response to LGBTQIA Victims and Providing Culturally Competent Services to Victims of Crime.
