Creating a Safe Bobcat Community
At Texas State University, we believe in creating a safe learning and working environment where all students, faculty, and staff feel valued and respected. As a new member of our community, you have a pivotal role to play in increasing your safety and the safety of others to create a healthy environment for all Bobcats.
To help you understand the University’s expectations, you are required to complete online modules designed to provide you Texas State University-specific information and resources around the topics of sexual assault prevention and alcohol and substance misuse (undergraduates only). Sexual Assault Prevention and AlcoholEdu for College are interactive online training courses designed and distributed by Vector Solutions. The training explores (college students for the challenges and responsibilities of college life) and addresses the interconnection between drug and alcohol abuse, decision making, and sexual violence. It encourages students to reflect critically on the personal beliefs, social norms, and cultural pressures that enable high-risk behaviors.
