"Since becoming a trainer with the Stop The Hate Train the Trainer Program, I have found that the knowledge and expertise I've gained have not only benefited me in my role on campus, but also have benefited other regional campuses throughout the Northwest. This program has been one of the most important pieces of training for me in my thirty years in higher education."
