SMART

Sexual Misconduct & Advocacy Resource Team (SMART). SMART is a group of faculty and staff prepared to appropriately and compassionately support students who are affected by sexual violence. 

The SMART group acts in an advisory capacity for issues regarding gender and sexual misconduct. Members meet throughout the year for additional training opportunities and to participate in table top exercises.

Want to be SMART? Join our team! Introductory sessions are 90 minutes in length and cover topics including rape culture, consent, perpetrator and survivor dynamics, helping skills, response options.

Want a personalized session for your department? Contact Lauren Stroud lstroud@ursinus.edu to discuss bringing SMART training to an upcoming meeting.
