Become an active bystander!

Saturday, February 23rd

1:00-3:00 pm Usdan 108

Empowered bystanders create a safer campus by standing up and speaking out when they witness situations that could potentially harm the health and safety of others.

Intervening with peers can be difficult for a number of reasons and

training will provide you with the skills to

move from inaction to action

and intervene safely and effectively.

The training features two distinct and separate tracks:

interpersonal violence prevention and alcohol education and intervention.

Please register here by Wednesday, February 20th!

Trained to help Wesleyan writers at any stage of the writing process, writing tutors are available, by appointment, Sunday from 2-11 and M-Th from 7-11 in locations across campus.

 

Make an appointment by going to Wesportal→ Academics–>Writing Workshop Account. You’ll be asked to make an account before being brought to our online scheduler.

 

Want semester long support? Apply for a writing mentor who will work with you for an hour every week. Focus on specific writing tasks like organization and time management with the help of a trained peer!
