GET119 Sexual Harassment Seminar

The overall goal of the university's "Mini-Conference on Sexual Harassment" is to ensure UF is a safe place to work and study for students, faculty, and staff. In this session, participants will define "sexual harassment," learn how to discern what constitutes sexual harassment and why, discuss the options for reporting incidents (informal and formal), learn about the university's process for handling reports, and review each employee's role in keeping the university free from sexual harassment.

It is the expectation that all UF employees--faculty and staff--will attend this conference.

Thursday, September 18, 9:00 a.m. to 12 p.m., Emerson Alumni Hall, President's Ballroom
Wednesday, October 22, 9:00 a.m. to 12 p.m., Emerson Alumni Hall, President's Ballroom
