Fall Bishop Way Facilitators Needed

The Bishop Way is looking for faculty and staff volunteers to serve as Bishop Way small group facilitators on Tuesday, Aug. 22 for first-year students. We need facilitators to commit to at least one of the two in-person sessions below.

Because the class is large again this year, we hope to have 35 facilitators at each session.  For those who have not facilitated before, we hope you consider participating – we have a recorded training we can provide this summer to review the content and presentation.

If you can help, please complete this Google Form by Friday, Aug. 4. We appreciate your support in advance! 

Camp Oh-Wooo Presentation Aug. 22, 2023: 

  • 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
  • 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

The session will discuss general statistics the incoming class provided to us in surveys they take before they arrive, review some learning points they might have missed, and share University support resources. Your role will be to help lead the discussion about active bystander skills and resources.

We want students to have positive discussions about sexual respect and what it means to be a Bishop in a community that cares for each other and their well-being.  You will lead students in discussing the early warning signs of relationship abuse and what they can do if they witness or experience these warning signs.  We will also ask you to reiterate resources on campus to support mental health and safe alcohol/other drug use. Don’t worry! We will have an outline and format for you.

This is a great way to meet our incoming class and host important conversations with students, we hope you will consider joining us!
