Hello Faculty and Staff:

Federal regulations, State laws and/or campus policy require that all employees participate in mandatory in-person or online compliance training on a variety of topics including Accessibility, Bias Awareness, Ethics, Security Awareness, Sexual Harassment Prevention, and Workplace Violence and Domestic Violence Prevention. In addition, the College conducts training on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and on College policies and systems.

After a review of last year’s feedback, the Training Coordination Team has decided to disseminate all training within the same block of time. All required training begins on Monday, August 19th and ends on Friday, September 27th.

 

The training is online and can be completed at your convenience.

You will receive individual email invites for each required training session from do-not-reply@knowbe4.com and CTS.helpdesk@purchase.edu on Monday, August 19th.
