Please Note: For the purposes of this event, any poetry or stories created or shared will not be considered disclosures to the university of harassment or violence. Meaning, university employees are NOT required to report to the University or the Title IX Coordinator regarding any details or stories shared. If you are interested in reporting to the university, you can contact Elizabeth Trayner, our Title IX Coordinator directly or you can learn more by going to seattleu.edu/get-help.

This event does not exempt such disclosures from this requirement.
