A Title IX resource website was created, www.shsu.edu/titleix. This website provides information regarding Title IX and resources associated with the topic. Brochures were not created during this assessment cycle. However, a focus on creating and implementing training for incoming students and employees took precedence. The brochure will be created and distributed during the 2014-2015 academic year.

 



Update to previous cycle's plan for continuous improvement

Although we had a high satisfaction rate for the Mentoring Program, participation has declined over the past 3 years.  This fiscal year the program did not receive funds so we are no longer continuing with the University Mentoring Program. 


Plan for continuous improvement We have met our goal and objectives for this assessment cycle and will move on to a new goal in a different area for the next assessment cycle.
