Advance registration is NOT required.  You must stay for the duration if you wish you receive credit for attending the session.  Individuals with disabilities requiring accommodations should contact the Office of Equal Opportunity Compliance at 607-274-3909 or eoc@ithaca.edu. We ask that requests for accommodations be made as soon as possible.

Participating in experiential learning is an important part of every student's higher education experience. However, most students, both male and female, have no idea what to do when confronted with sexual harassment.  Unwanted advances or sexually explicit gestures and jokes can be damaging to a student's confidence both during the internship and when seeking employment after graduation. In addition, many students are unaware when their own well-intentioned conduct might be viewed as unprofessional and offensive, putting them in jeopardy both academically and professionally.
