One of the best things about attending San Diego City College, Mesa College, Miramar College, and the College of Continuing Education is our strong sense of community and our commitment in providing an accessible and safe learning environment for everyone. Being a part of the community comes with a shared responsibility for the health and welfare of your fellow students, staff, and faculty at all our campuses. This includes being aware and implementing prevention techniques to identify and respond to sexual assault, sexual harassment, dating violence, and stalking on college campuses.
This is why the San Diego Community College District has partnered with Keenan SafeColleges to provide a comprehensive online student training to help identify, recognize, respond to, and prevent sexual harassment, and sexual violence. As part of our comprehensive prevention efforts, all students are invited and encouraged to complete the Keenan SafeColleges online training.
This online training is a thoughtful, engaging, research-based program, designed to educate students committed to thinking about their life choices and the safety of their friends and peers. This training will inform students about the issues involved in sexual harassment and prevention, enable them to recognize potentially risky situations, and equip them with the skills to foster a safe environment for yourself and others.
It is possible that something you read/watch during this training may trigger an emotional response, whether or not you have experienced interpersonal violence yourself. Support resources can be found on the Get Help section of the Title IX page, or you can contact the Title IX Office directly at titleix@sdccd.edu. You can also get immediate support 24/7 via the national support hotline of the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (RAINN) at 1-800-656-4673 or access their online chat hotline at https://rainn.org.
