Bystander Intervention Training, Nov. 11

October 13, 2017

Green Dot is hosting the next Bystander Intervention Training for students on Saturday, November 11, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., according to Tiger Simpson, Health and Counseling Center. Nominations are being collected for student leaders to attend the training and help UP decrease violence in its community. This link connects to a nomination form which only takes about 30 seconds to fill out, and there is an option to remain anonymous if desired.

Each nomination goes a long way in ensuring that the University community is free of violence, and also creates lasting change to ensure future Pilots enter into a community where violence is not tolerated.
