Empowering the KSU Community

Kennesaw State is committed to fostering a safe and inclusive campus. Programs like One Choice Bystander Intervention Training and Sexual Assault Prevention provide students, faculty, and staff with the tools to prevent misconduct, promote healthy relationships, and build a culture of respect and support. Through education and action, we can create a safer, stronger community.

Safety Training and Prevention

  • The Office of Diversity and Inclusion at KSU has partnered with the KSU Women’s Resource and Interpersonal Violence Prevention Center, Residence Life, Department of Public Safety, and Intercollegiate Athletics to develop One Choice, a bystander education training for the KSU campus community.

    Bystander education is an approach that shifts the traditional focus away from the victim and the perpetrator to the surrounding community, which includes students, staff and faculty. In the training, participants are able to:

    • Identify healthy/unhealthy relationships
    • Recognize the role, obstacles and options of an ACTive bystander
    • Assist in creating a culture of change

    One Choice invites participants to reassess their role in sexual misconduct prevention, encourages participants to believe that their contribution matters, and engages participants in education that will expand their knowledge base and skill set to take action.

    There are obstacles that can hinder bystanders from participating, such as fear, not knowing the full details of the situation at hand, or believing that others will intervene. However, being well informed of intervention options can assist in overcoming these obstacles. In all situations, please remember that your safety is important. If a situation presents immediate danger, please seek outside assistance or call 9-1-1.

    Students can register for upcoming One Choice trainings via Owl Life. 

  • Kennesaw State University is committed to providing a safe and welcoming campus community. Education is an important component in equipping students, faculty, staff and community members with the tools to reach this goal.

    The program is titled Sexual Assault Prevention and will cover sensitive issues surrounding interpersonal violence prevention. Topics covered include: consent, sexual assault, alcohol, dating and domestic violence, stalking, healthy relationships and bystander intervention. Graduate students are required to take the graduate version of Sexual Assault Prevention. 

    Undergraduate students are also required to complete Alcohol Edu. Alcohol Edu is a one-hour, online, and interactive educational program that provides useful, research-based information to help students make healthy decisions and develop healthy lifestyle habits that will last a lifetime. 

    The Sexual Assault Prevention and Alcohol Edu educational programs must be completed prior to the student’s registration for the next academic term. The program provides closed caption and audio description availability. Students can access these options by clicking the “CC” and/or “AD” buttons at the bottom of each module.

    Students will receive an email from Kennesaw State University <automated-message@everfi.net with the relevant course information.
