Students and Early Career Professionals

GSA Seminar: No Means No: How to Step Up and Stop Harassment

Presented by Sherry A. Marts, Ph.D., President and CEO, S*Marts Consulting LLC
Monday, 23 October, Noon – 1:30 p.m.
WSCC – Ballroom 6B

FREE for all attendees (food not included). Feel free to purchase food nearby in the center and bring your lunch with you.

The damage done by harassers and bullies begins with those they target. It extends to those who witness or hear about it. And it poisons the atmosphere everywhere it happens - including in the workplace, in field work settings, and at meetings and conferences. What can you do to stop harassment when you’re the target? How can you step in to stop it when you see it? Learn how to recognize harassment for what it is, how to decide when to step up and step in, and approaches and methods that work to stop harassing and bullying behavior.
