Cup Of Prevention
The Cup of Prevention campaign, hosted by the Title IX Office with campus partners, is one of a series of education initiatives to inform the UToledo community about sexual misconduct, prevention, and support resources.
What is Cup of Prevention?
Stickers — each with a QR code leading to this page of information about Title IX and education opportunities to reduce sexual misconduct — are placed on coffee sleeves and food packages across campus.
- Promotes the practice of being a Rocket Upstander
- Provides campus resources to prevent and respond to sexual misconduct

What is sexual misconduct?
Sexual misconduct is a type of violence that uses power, control and/or intimidation to harm another. It includes sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking and retaliation. It occurs when there is an absence of consent.
If you have experienced or witnessed sexual misconduct, submit the complaint form or contact the Office of Title IX.
70%
of people who are sexually assaulted know their assailants
50%
or more of student sexual assaults involve alcohol
40%
of stalking offenders are current or former intimate partners
Need help?
Title IX has resources available to assist students, faculty and staff in matters around sexual violence.
Contact Title IX at titleix@utoledo.edu, by phone 419.530.4191, or by visiting Snyder Memorial, room 1120.
Be a Rocket Upstander
Who is a Rocket Upstander
A Rocket Upstander is an individual who intervenes to positively impact a harmful or potentially harmful situation. Those who stand against sexual harassment know how to:
- Speak up when witnessing unacceptable behavior
- Say or do something to shift the attention
- Get someone else involved
- Support someone after the incident
When intervening, make sure you are taking your own safety into consideration. Call 9-1-1 if immediate safety is ever a concern. Support someone after the incident by offering them resources and providing emotional support.
Rocket Upstander events
The Title IX Office hosts Rocket Upstander events throughout the academic year. These interactive events focus on prevention education and outreach, utilizing small group discussion to help teach the campus community how to:
- Identify behaviors on a continuum of violence
- Identify sexual misconduct as portrayed by media and pop culture
- Develop empathy for those who have experienced violence
- Practice safe and appropriate intervention skills
Visit the Title IX Office Invonet page for more information on programming.
