Prevention and Education Programs Stevens Campus Police and Student Affairs staff stress the importance of crime prevention and safety for the Stevens community. Crime prevention workshops regarding personal safety, fire safety, firearms awareness, drunk driving, the safeguarding of personal property, and safeguarding against online frauds and scams are presented to campus organizations and student groups throughout the year. Stevens’ approach to providing campus safety and security is one of community policing and partnership building within the University community and with Stevens’ host city, Hoboken, N.J. In all its communications with students, faculty and staff, Campus Police reminds community members of the importance of taking responsibility for their own security and the security of others. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to take advantage of all available resources to protect themselves, including the shuttle service and escort service described above. Training Stevens Institute of Technology requests that faculty and staff complete select training courses each year. Title IX: Building Supportive Communities, is a 60-minute module addressing sexual harassment, sexual assault, relationship violence, stalking, and Title IX protections, including those related to pregnancy. Fostering Student Mental Health, is a 30- minute training that provides an overview of common mental health challenges in higher education and offers guidance on recognizing and responding to students in distress. Interactive exercises take students through real-world scenarios and encourage students to challenge sexist language and attitudes, provide guidance for supporting someone who has experienced harm, and promote healthy relationships based on positive communication and respect, empowering students to create safe, healthy campus environments. Additional training sessions Additional Title IX Trainings are offered throughout the year and facilitated by our Title IX team. Resident Assistants are annually required to attend Title IX training as part of a more comprehensive training program. Fraternity and Sorority leaders, student-athletes, peer health mentors, and other student groups also participate in Title IX training programs offered at various times throughout the year.
