Act 943, passed by the Arkansas Legislature in 2015 directs college and universities to develop and implement action plans to help students prevent unplanned pregnancy or delay plans for additional pregnancies.
Arkansas is #2 in pregnancy rates for 15-19 year olds and unplanned births result in 1 in 10 college dropouts*. The topic of preventing unplanned pregnancy is relevant for both college men and women, for those who are already parents, as well as those who are not parents.

CCAMPIS
麻豆成人91精品二区三区 has received a $750,000 grant from the U.S. Department of
Education Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) program.
As a result of the grant, a cohort of 50 Pell Grant-eligible ATU students who have children and reside in a five-county region (Pope, Yell, Franklin, Logan and Johnson) will be selected each of the next four years to receive funding for child care at one of childcare facilities that have agreed to partner with Arkansas Tech on the initiative. More information can be found here, including a program application.
Sexual Assault Prevention Training Courses
Arkansas Tech has partnered with Vector Solutions, whose mission is to help students address critical life skills, in high schools and higher education institutions across the country. Vector Solutions provides a training course called Sexual Assault Prevention for Undergraduates to help incoming students understand the issues related to sexual violence. Sexual Assault Prevention for Undergraduates relies on proven prevention theories and educational strategies to increase student awareness of sexual misconduct and is designed to assist us in meeting legal requirements and guidance issued by the U.S. Department of Education鈥檚 Office of Civil Rights. Each year over a half million students complete these courses nationwide. All new first year and transfer students are required to complete this course. This course is part of an ongoing and proactive educational campaign aimed at keeping students safe and well-informed.
Sexual Assault Prevention for Adult Learners is a tailored sexual assault prevention training course for learners who are not fresh out of high school. This program recognizes that these students' identities and life experiences puts them in a unique position to make a positive difference in the lives of other students, as well as others they care about. The course covers how to recognize and take action in potentially harmful situations (in-person and virtually), including options for how to respond if someone approaches one of these learners for help.
Vector Solutions also provides a training course called Sexual Assault Prevention for Graduate Students, a tailored sexual assault prevention training for post-baccalaureate student groups including graduate/professional students and adult learners. All new graduate students are required to complete Sexual Assault Prevention for Graduate Students online.
In addition to completing a sexual assault prevention training course up in the first semester at 麻豆成人91精品二区三区, all students are required to complete an annual training course offered by Vector Solutions. This annual training builds upon previous courses students have completed with a special focus on fostering healthy relationships. If you have questions about these training courses, please contact Stacy Galbo, Title IX Coordinator, at sgalbo2@atu.edu or via phone at 479-964-0583 ext. 4714.

We all have a part to play in the fight against sexual and relationship violence. The following are some things to keep in mind as you interact with peers or sexual/romantic partners.
"Consent is:
-Individuals may experience the same interaction in different ways. It is the responsibility
of each party to determine that the other has consented before engaging in the activity.
-If consent is not clearly provided prior to engaging in the activity, consent may
be ratified by word or action at some point during the interaction or thereafter,
but clear communication from the outset is strongly encouraged.
-For consent to be valid, there must be a clear expression in words or actions that
the other individual consented to that specific sexual conduct. Reasonable reciprocation
can be implied. For example, if someone kisses you, you can kiss them back (if you
want to) without the need to explicitly obtain their consent to being kissed back.
-Consent can also be withdrawn once given, as long as the withdrawal is reasonably
and clearly communicated. If consent is withdrawn, that sexual activity should cease
within a reasonable time.
-Consent to some sexual contact (such as kissing or fondling) cannot be presumed to
be consent for other sexual activity (such as intercourse). A current or previous
intimate relationship is not sufficient to constitute consent.
-The existence of consent is based on the totality of the circumstances evaluated
from the perspective of a reasonable person in the same or similar circumstances,
including the context in which the alleged incident occurred."
Consent has NOT been obtained if the person:
Reminders:
Good communication is the key to healthy relationships. Best practice is for both parties to receive verbal affirmative consent, "yes", each and every time and for each and every activity.
Bystander Intervention is deciding to step up and do something when you see concerning behavior that has potential to harm others. Taking action and preventing or interrupting dangerous activity doesn鈥檛 have to be hard.
It could be as simple as:
