Bystander Training: Building a Stronger Maverick Family

The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) continually evaluates and prepares for how to make the campus community experience more welcoming and inclusive and safe.

In September 2021, University of Nebraska System President Carter issued Executive Memorandum 44 exemplifying what it means to be a Maverick.

Every single student attending UNO is required to attend an in-person, peer-informed training to ensure all members of the campus community have the knowledge and skills to foster an active culture of care. This training will prepare you to effectively respond to difficult situations so you can help keep campus safe for everyone.

What does this mean for our students?

Over the next semester, all students must register and attend one training before the end of the academic semester. There are trainings at various times throughout the day as well as throughout the week.

To register, log into Presence and register for a training via by searching “Bystander Intervention” and making sure you have all the options by expanding the dates from August to December.

Questions? Please reach out to the UNO Gender and Sexuality Resource Center at unogsrc@unomaha.edu.

Thank you for being committed to making sure you have the skills needed to cultivate a safer, more inclusive, welcoming space for all students!
