From events like Rock the Bluff to individual clubs, these activities bring students together to make UP a community.

Outside coordinator to join UP Title IX team

The University has hired Jackie Moran from Grand River Solutions to serve the roles previously held by the Title IX coordinator position. Moran was introduced at Tuesday night's Title IX Information Session and Q&A. During this, Moran and Herdener discussed the Title IX department at UP, what resources students have, and what their roles are in the department.  On Dec.1 students and faculty received an email announcing the Title IX coordinator position had been cut due to budget cuts. Dean of Students and President for Student Development Tammy Herdener stepped in as interim director. Now, Moran has taken over the roles from that position.
