Title IX Coordinator Update...Justine Stein, our new Title IX Sexual Assault Prevention Coordinator, joined the Gustavus community in early January. We are interested in setting up times with organizations or committees who are interested in meeting her. Our goals for these initial meetings are as follows:

• Welcome Justine to Gustavus 
• Explain the role or mission of the committee or group she is meeting
• Communicate expectations of Justine's role
• Give her an idea of what your group sees as priorities for the role
• Provide guidance on what the group/committee feels they can do to support the success of the role and our prevention efforts
• Perspective on the campus climate and/or history

If your organization or committee is interested in setting up time to meet with Justine, please contact Julie Kline (jkline@gustavus.edu) in Human Resources.
