Don't Cancel Class

Often, there are days when a professor is unable to be present for class because of other professional obligations or illness. The Safe Campus Advocate will be offering faculty the option of becoming a substitute for that particular class session at no charge, assuming it does not conflict with other obligations or classroom commitments. In addition, the Safe Campus Advocate would be willing to collect assignments, take attendance, and pass along other assignments for professors if needed. However, the remaining time would be used to provide content on important topics in alignment with safe campus advocacy such as sexual assault, dating/domestic violence, and stalking (or some related topic mutually agreed upon). This option provides the professor with opportunity to give students credit for attending class, while simultaneously granting opportunity for these important topics to be introduced to students and make them aware of the USaFety program features associated with the Department of Justice grant. To arrange such  class sessions, it is respectfully requested that a professor e-mail  This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it   or call at 605.331.6613 with the date, location, and length of the class as far in advance as possible. Also, a class list will be needed prior to the presentation.
