Changing Campus Culture Initiative - ALIGN

 

What is ALIGN?

ALIGN is a statewide awareness initiative developed through the Ohio Department of Higher Education’s Changing Campus Culture effort. The campaign brings Ohio colleges and universities together around a shared commitment: preventing sexual violence, promoting mutual respect, and ensuring every student can learn in a safe and supportive environment.

 

 

Washington State College of Ohio proudly participates in the ALIGN initiative as part of our broader commitment to student safety and well-being.

At WSCO, ALIGN complements the work already being done through Title IX, student services, campus safety, and educational programming. By participating in this statewide effort, we strengthen our ability to:

  • Promote clear reporting options
  • Ensure accessible support resources
  • Provide educational outreach and training
  • Foster a campus environment rooted in dignity and respect

We believe that student success begins with student safety. ALIGN helps us reinforce that message consistently and visibly across our campus community.
