Get Inclusive: Voices for Change

At the University of Portland, we are committed to fostering an environment that is safe and respectful for all community members. Each of us are called to honor and respect the inherent dignity of every individual. Whether you are returning to the Bluff or joining for the first time, we want all Pilots to know what it means to be a part of the UP community, and how to take care of themselves and each other. In keeping with these values, we require all students to complete a short training, Get Inclusive: Voices for Change.

Based on research, self-reflection, and concept application, Voices for Change is a key part of our efforts to become a community of engaged bystanders who can identify harmful situations and have the motivation and skills necessary to intervene. This training will cover topics such as Alcohol and Other Drugs, Hazing and Intimidation, Identities & Inclusion, and Consent & Sexual Violence.

Our goal is to ensure every student knows what it means to be a part of our community and how to take care of themselves and each other. We encourage you to keep the conversation going, and we thank you for your commitment to making our home on the Bluff a safe, healthy, and inclusive community for all.

If you have any questions or require an accommodation, please contact wellness@up.edu.
