Prevention and Involvement
Hamline engages prevention and training through various programs, awareness months, training and education, and campus-wide committees to support prevention of sexual misconduct and discrimination based on gender identity and expression.

Students who wants to get involved on campus in ending sexual misconduct, be a supporter, and advocate for social change, check out some of the programs available on campus!
StepUP! bystander program
Hamline uses StepUP! as our bystander intervention program to educate students about how to be proactive in helping others. While providing us opportunities to think more inclusively in how we respond to concerns and interrupt unwelcomed actions in our community. It also teaches students how to train their peers to be active members of our community. Do you want to learn more about being a bystander and what stops us stepping up in situations where we see something that isn't right? Want to learn some tools and skills to help step up more regularly? Then this training is right for you.
