In the first phase of a new administrative effort to tackle the issue of sexual assault on campus, students are required to complete the first half of HAVEN, an online sexual assault course aimed at educating students, by Monday, Nov. 16.
“Sexual assault is a significant challenge for universities and colleges nationwide, seriously affecting the health, mental health and academic success of students,” Title IX Office coordinator Tanya Jachimiak said. “Although the problem of sexual misconduct is not unique to Wake Forest, we are continually reevaluating our prevention and awareness efforts.”
Jachimiak became the university’s first full-time Title IX coordinator last November, and has since been a resource for student survivors of sexual assault and a proactive advocate for raising awareness on campus.
