Green Dot Training

I attended this training on 10/31/19.

"Green Dot is a national program we implement here at the College at Brockport; it is a bystander intervention program whose focus is preventing sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking."

We are trying to start a culture change here on campus; that process will take time.  Started with the President's cabinet and now faculty/staff.  Upper classmen will be trained in the spring semester.  

Similar to "Eagle Checkin" where you check in with folks to see how they are doing.

Three D's:
Direct
Delegate 
Distract

There are both proactive and reactive green dots.  We are trying to diffuse any of the red dots that appear on campus.

Things for Faculty/Staff to do now:
Hang up posters in their offices/areas
Put a statement in their syllabi
Develop course assignments related to greendot topics
Use the language in conversations with students
Educate and read articles on the topic

Student Panel: Transfer Students in the Brockport Classroom

CELT workshop, 10/28/19

Things they appreciated: help with Degree Works and knowing what their schedules would look like.
Erin Rickman, and the ASC
One found the lack of diversity challenging here. 
Less flexibility then freshmen, they need to get right into their majors classes.

Ideas to reach them:

• All agreed email was best. (Social media doesn't work.)
• Have a faculty panel for students so they could ask questions.
• Throw an event for transfer students (they are not first-year students, although many assume they would go to those events.)
• If we have any ideas that we would like sent to all of them, send to Erin Rickman and she can make an announcement in Blackboard and/or send an email too.   Use this for activities too.
• Have a table at the union, always get people that way. 
• They are interested in departmental clubs, study abroad.
• Want to know how to get tutors, especially if in online classes.  We could use this to share how to get librarian help. 

Let them know they are not alone.  Show you care.
