The Title IX Coordinator Resource Guide
Recently we sent out a survey within our Title IX Newsletter, asking Coordinators to share a little about your role. In an effort to help create a community, we thought it'd be helpful to pass along some of the shared resources, as well as some of the challenges of the Coordinator role. Want to add input to the Title IX Coordinator Resource Guide? It's not too late to participate.
Major Takeaways from the Survey
Many of you let us know that your role was isolating, and that you were in need of networking opportunities with other coordinators. In response, we would love to provide a forum for Coordinators to discuss obstacles amongst each other throughout the nation, without having to leave the comfort of your office.
