Title IX Training
The Title IX Team provides training to the UToledo Community. This session helps participants

and retaliation. Your group can gain a better understanding of what it means to be
a responsible employee, how to maintain compliance with Title IX and how Title IX
enhances the inclusive culture at The University of Toledo. To host a Title IX Training

Rocket Upstanders
Rocket Upstanders is a series of programs aimed at sexual misconduct awareness and prevention open to all students and the UToledo campus community. The Rocket Upstanders series is made up of three different programs, each covering a targeted topic within sexual misconduct prevention. Each hour-long program is centered on a brief presentation, with facilitated, small-group
conversations where participants can safely learn and discuss while working on an
accompanying craft. This year's programs are:
- Rocket Upstanders: Stalking is Not Romantic
- Rocket Upstanders: Media Myths and Rape Culture
- Rocket Upstanders: Consent Is the Tea
To learn more about each program's topic and to view dates and times being offered,
