I completed the online training; do I need to attend a SARV workshop?
Yes. While we value the time you took to complete the online training, this workshop will give all UNL students a consistent knowledge base about sexual assault and relationship violence dynamics unique to the college experience, resources of where to receive support at UNL, and skills to safely intervene.
