Prevention at GW

Education is a primary pillar of the GW Office of Equal Opportunity’s mission. Our education programs provide the GW community with opportunities to discuss important concepts such as policy and process training, training on consent and healthy relationships, and strategies to promote how to be an active bystander. Every member of the GW community has a role to play in preventing discrimination and harassment within our community.  Educating yourself on these important issues is crucial to playing your part in creating a safe, respectful and inclusive environment at GW.
