Equal Opportunity Report and Response (EORR) offers training geared toward employees, managers, and supervisors, though anyone at UW is welcome to attend. Managers and supervisors (including all faculty) are required to attend in-person training every three years on preventing sexual harassment and discrimination. Other training topics currently include diversity and sexual misconduct. EORR is also happy to discuss classroom presentations or special sessions as needed. (766-5200, report-it@uwyo.edu)

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offers training for UW employees and supervisors, including “Harassment and Discrimination Prevention,” which is required for every UW employee. Employees who are involved with personnel decisions must also complete training about OFCCP regulations called “UW – A Diverse Workplace.” Training is also available on disabilities in the workplace, inclusive work environments for veterans, and conducting academic or administrative searches. DEI is also available to conduct ad hoc training sessions for departments or groups. (766-3459, diversity-epo@uwyo.edu)

Human Resources (HR) offers employees and supervisors a number of in-person and online staff learning and professional development sessions. In addition to the Supervisor Development Institute, there are several topics related to fair hiring, supervisory skills, and screening of job applicants. Other topics include responding to difficult people, team dysfunction, communication skills, and change management. HR can also help UW employees or departments develop internal training for their areas. (766-5484, jbegin@uwyo.edu)

University Disability Support Services (UDSS) helped develop a course within the WyoCourses Learning Management System that has information and tutorials to help instructors build accessible online courses.

Green Dot is a bystander intervention program aimed at reducing and preventing power-based personal violence such as sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking.  It is centered around one thought: If everyone does one thing, no one will have to do everything. A Green Dot is your choice at any moment to make campus safer by promoting safety for everyone and letting others know that you will not tolerate violence. A Green Dot is any behavior, choice, word or attitude that sends a clear message that: 1) Violence is not okay with you, and 2) Everyone is expected to do their part. (766-3296, greendot@uwyo.edu)
