Colleagues,

Instructor-focused classroom and campus safety training is once again under way this semester, with the goal of reaching 100 percent of UWM’s faculty and instructional staff. This training will help ensure that we are prepared to respond to situations that could cause students to feel unsafe. To date, over 300 instructors and support staff have received training. If you have not attended a training session (or if you signed up to attend one but had to miss the session), please make it a priority this semester.

There are five sessions offered over the month of April. Co-developed by the Dean of Students Office and the UWM Police Department, the training has been well received by participants.

The focus is on disruptive students, students in crisis and what to do in case of a violent incident.  The dates of the training will be 4/4 (10 a.m.), 4/9 (10 a.m.), 4/11 (2 p.m.), 4/18 (10 a.m.) and 4/26 (10 a.m.).  All of the training will take place in Flicks, located in Sandburg Hall.  In order to register for the training please visit https://uwm.edu/safetytraining.

Thank you for participating in this important and essential campus training program.

Take care,
Johannes
