From this module, I have learned the importance of Title IX and VAWA training in ensuring that postsecondary institutions remain compliant with federal laws while also creating a campus culture that prioritizes safety, respect, and equity. The module reinforced that these trainings are not just about meeting legal requirements, but also about empowering faculty and staff to recognize, prevent, and appropriately respond to incidents of sexual harassment, discrimination, and violence.
I intend to apply this knowledge by being more mindful of how policies and procedures directly impact students’ learning environments and overall well-being. As a future leader in healthcare and education, I plan to advocate for continuous training and awareness-building on these topics so that institutions are not only compliant but also proactive in supporting students and employees. Promoting these practices will help foster trust, inclusivity, and accountability in the communities I serve.
