The training highlights the transition from military service to higher education\, explores the challenges and strengths veterans bring to campus\, and introduces the university and community resources available to support them\, including those offered through the Peter Secchia Military &\; Veterans Resource Center. Delivered in a one-hour virtual format\, Green Zone Training provides a focused\, interactive learning experience. Participants gain practical strategies to create a welcoming and supportive environment by building cultural awareness\, practicing empathetic communication\, and learning how to effectively refer students to appropriate resources. While not intended to prepare participants as counselors\, the training equips them to serve as visible allies who understand the unique needs of military-connected students. Upon completion\, participants receive a certificate of completion and are designated as Green Zone Allies. They are provided with both a physical sticker for their office and a digital version for use in course syllabi or email signatures. These markers serve as visible symbols of allyship\, signaling to student veterans that the individual has completed specialized training\, is approachable\, and is committed to connecting them with the support they need. Green Zone Training reflects GVSU's commitment to creating a veteran-inclusive campus one where military-connected students are understood\, supported\, and empowered to thrive academically and personally.Learning Outcomes - Participants will be able to\:Develop a greater awareness of military culture and student veteran experiencesRecognize barriers to academic and personal success for military-connected studentsLearn how to connect students with appropriate university resources and servicesGain confidence in serving as a supportive ally and advocate on campusPresenters\:Shane Scherer (He/Him/His)\, Director\, Military &\; Veterans Resource Center SUMMARY:Green Zone Training\: Supporting Veterans and Military-Connected Students PRIORITY:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20261110T120000 DTEND:20261110T130000 DESCRIPTION:The Master of Public Health program invites you to learn more about earning your MPH degree at GVSU!\n\n\n\nJoin the MPH program director\, Dr. Katie Barnhart\, to learn how and why you should earn your Master of Public Health at Grand Valley State University. \;We invite you to attend an upcoming Information Event\:\n\n\n\nProspective MPH applicants are encouraged to join us for any one of our \;upcoming interactive Public Health Virtual Information \;sessions\; all will be held virtually.\n\n\n\n\n\n September 15 \;(Tuesday) @ 12 p.m. (noon) - Register \n\n September 28 \;(Monday) @ 5\:30 p.m. - Register \n\n October 5 \;(Monday) @ 12 p.m. (noon) - Register \n\n October 15 \;(Thursday) @ 11 a.m. - Register \n\n October 29 \;(Thursday) @ 4 p.m. - Register \n\n November 10 \;(Tuesday) @ 12 p.m. (noon) - Register \n\n November 16 \;(Monday) @ 12 p.m. (noon) - Register \n\n December 5 \;(Saturday) @ 10 a.m. - Register \n\n December 15 \;(Tuesday) @ 12 p.m. (noon) - Register \n\n January 15 \;(Friday) @ 3\:30 p.m. \;- Register  \;\n\n February 9 \;(Tuesday) @ 12 p.m. (noon) - Register \n\n March 20 \;(Saturday) @ 10 a.m. - Register \n\n April 13 \;(Tuesday) @ 5\:30 p.m. - Register \n\n May 11 \;(Tuesday) @ 12 p.m. (noon) - Register \n\n\n\n\n\nPre-registration is required to attend a \;Public Health Virtual Information \;session \;- use the registration links above\, or \; visit the CPH Events Portal \;for a full list of upcoming Public Health Virtual Information Sessions and to Register .

In the U.S.\, domestic violence accounts for an estimated 8 million lost workdays each year and $8.3 billion annually in medical expenses and lost productivity.*Abuse is not always physical. Threats\, manipulation\, isolation\, gaslighting\, and verbal attacks can inflict lasting psychological harm\, including post-traumatic stress disorder. Financial or economic abuse is a factor in nearly all domestic violence cases limiting a partner's access to money\, employment\, and resources. Abusers often harass their partner at work\, interfere with transportation and attendance\, or sabotage career advancement. Supervisors and co-workers often struggle to know what to do or say- not wanting to get involved or jumping into rescue mode- getting too involved and potentially putting themselves in harm's way. By building awareness and strengthening our ability to respond\, we create safer\, more supportive environments where survivors are more likely to reach out for assistance *Statistics from www.workplacesrespond.orgLearning Outcomes - Participants will be able to\:Identify various forms of domestic violence.Understand the impact of domestic violence on survivors and workplaces.Recognize the signs of domestic violence in the workplace and what resources are available.Presenters\:Holly Jasinski\, MS \; (She/Her/Hers) Director\, Center for Women &\; Gender Equity SUMMARY:Domestic Violence and the Workplace PRIORITY:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20270226T110000 DTEND:20270226T123000 DESCRIPTION:LUNCH &\; LEARN\: This intermediate-level training builds upon previous implicit bias and microaggressions workshops.

Additionally\, tools will be provided to assist in mitigating implicit bias and microaggressions.
