Sexual
Misconduct and Assault
Resource Team (SMART)
SMART is a campus
organization aimed at creating greater awareness about relationship-related
topics. The goal of the SMART organization is to educate and assist
members of the Wartburg community in dealing with situations related
to sexual misconduct. SMART consists of two separate branches.
SMART consists of faculty, staff and student advocates who are
specially trained to provide education and support in sexual assault/harassment
incidents on campus. SMART is also a student-run organization
which provides educational programming about issues related to
dating violence, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and making
responsible sexual choices.
How
do I become a member?
New inductees
to the SMART student branch are chosen once a year. To become
a member, you must fill out an application and go through an interview.
To become an advocate you must go through 20 hours of training,
after acceptance onto the team. Membership applications are accepted
in the Fall Term of each school year. If you have any questions,
comments or concerns please direct those to Stephanie Newsom,
Director of Counseling, at Ext. 8596.
