Prevention Education

The Title IX Office works to decrease the prevalence of sexual harassment, including sexual assault, domestic/dating violence and stalking, while promoting healthy relationships and responsible decision making among Geneseo students on campus and in the surrounding community.

Through prevention education programming, the Title IX Office works to decrease sexual harassment prevalence by shifting cultural norms, addressing issues specific to high-risk populations, reducing barriers to survivor services, and increasing reporting of alleged incidents. 

The Title IX Office is always looking to work with faculty, staff, and students to raise awareness of interpersonal violence and provide a safe space for members of our community to seek support. Workshops are facilitated by Title IX Staff and other collaborators and are open to all members of the campus community. We also can provide educational programs upon request. If you are interested in hosting or partnering in an upcoming workshop, please email us at titleix@geneseo.edu or call us at 585-245-6490. 

The Title IX Office has created a catalog of programs for students, faculty, staff and/or organizations to choose from. Fill out the attached Google Form or click on the QR code to request your presentation today!
