This program uses true-to-life situations and language that will test your knowledge using real-world situations.  The program is designed to help you identify actions and behaviors that have no place in our Miner Community.  The program will highlight the nondiscrimination policies for the University of Missouri.  Additionally, resources are promoted for those that have experienced discrimination available on and off campus. 

All new students to the University of Missouri are directed to complete the sexual violence prevention program as required by Federal law.  The prevention education program called “U Got This!” is hosted at all four University of Missouri campuses.  U Got This! Is an engaging conversation about: 

• bystander intervention 
• consent 
• healthy relationships
• sexual harassment
• sexual assault
• dating and domestic violence
• stalking and more

Questions or concerns, contact the Office of Equity and Title IX at equity@mst.edu.
