Our annual platform for education and prevention training, commonly known as Not Anymore will now be called Campus Safety Training. This change will also be reflected on students' Wingspan Channel, as it will no longer show “Not Anymore” as an option to click on. Instead, “Campus Safety Training” will be in its’ place. Please call our office at 803/323-4503 for any questions.
All students have to complete Campus Safety Training every academic year, regardless of age, sex, or degree status.
