Both are provided through  VectorSolutions. The Sexual Assault Prevention Program focuses on providing shared definitions of sexual harassment and assault, and building consent, and bystander intervention skills. The Sexual Assault Prevention Ongoing Program emphasizes healthy relationship skills, tactics for bystander intervention among close friends, and survivor empathy. For undergraduate student online trainings, please visit the <a href="https://studentaffairs.umd.edu/student-life/wellness-training">Division of Student Affairs' Wellness Training webpage</a>.</p><h3>Sexual Assault Prevention for Graduate Students</h3><p>All new graduate students are required to complete the online training course "<em>Sexual Assault Prevention for Graduate Students"</em> approximately one month prior to the start of the semester. The training prepares students to succeed post-graduation and equips them now with the skills and knowledge to identify and intervene when they witness unsafe or unhealthy behavior with friends or coworkers. This training engages students as they progress, fostering healthy relationships and preparing them to recognize and respond to sexual assault and harassment when it occurs; equips graduate students with the tools needed to navigate new and complex relationships including how to identify and respond to harassment from a faculty member or advisor and other workplace-based harassment; how to respectfully engage with undergraduate students; and, how to respond to student disclosures. This course reflects training requirements outlined in the 2020 Title IX changes.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="section section-umd_terp_basic_page section-ut_accordion"> <div class="accordion" id="accordion-1353">  <div class="card"> <div class="card-header" id="accordion-1353-header-16"> <button class="btn" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#accordion-1353-content-16" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="accordion-1353-content-16"> Learning Objectives </button> </div> <div id="accordion-1353-content-16" class="collapse" aria-labelledby="accordion-1353-header-16" data-parent="#accordion-1353" > <div class="card-body"> <div> <div class="editor-content" id="umd_terp_paragraph--1351"> <ul> <li>Learn strategies to recognize and take action in risky or harmful situations</li> <li>Explore options for how to respond to and support someone who has experienced this behavior</li> <li>Learn how to access resources for support</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="section section-umd_terp_basic_page section-ut_divider"> <div> <hr class="divider spacing-small rule-medium" id="umd_terp_paragraph--1940"> </div> </div> <div class="section section-umd_terp_basic_page section-ut_text"> <div> <div class="editor-content" id="umd_terp_paragraph--1379"> <h5>If you have any questions about the above the training, you may email the Office of Civil Rights and Sexual Misconduct (OCRSM) training account at <a href="mailto:titleixtraining@umd.edu">titleixtraining@umd.edu</a>.
