Student Prevention Education Training
Champlain brings prevention education to students even before they start classes. All incoming students are expected to complete a series of online educational modules including: alcohol awareness and prevention training; diversity, equity, and inclusion for undergraduates; mental wellbeing for students; and sexual violence prevention. These educational modules provide a comprehensive overview of issues that are central to the student experience.
For current students, the Office of Diversity & Inclusion, the Women’s & Gender Center, the Bias Education & Response Team, and the Office of Housing & Residential Life offer programs throughout the year that facilitate skill building around key aspects of prevention. These may include topics such as dating and communication, consent, self- and community-care, helping a friend, and bystander intervention.
If you are a current student and would like to take any or all of the online education modules listed above, please email communitystandards@champlain.edu to request access.

The College has designated and authorized Cory Davis to serve as the College’s Title IX Coordinator, and to coordinate the College’s efforts to comply with Title IX. For general Title IX questions email titleix@champlain.edu.
