What the training actually teaches
Rather than a single script, the workshop covers a handful of low-risk ways to intervene — distracting, delegating to someone with more authority, checking in directly — so a student can pick whichever fits a situation instead of freezing.
Who has to take it
Orientation leaders, resident assistants and officers of recognized student organizations complete it as a standing requirement; any other student or employee can request a session through the Student Success Center.
In and around Porter Falls
Support at Porter is deliberately clustered on the first two levels of Halvorsen Library so a student can move from one kind of help to another without leaving the building or re-explaining the situation. Walk-in hours run late Monday through Thursday during the semester, and everything can also be booked through MyPorter.
The practical details
Length: 90 minutes. Cost: Free. Required for: Orientation leaders, RAs, Greek life officers. Anything time-sensitive — an accommodation, a booking, a deadline — is worth confirming directly before you rely on it, because the specifics here can change from term to term.
If you have a question
The office behind this is Student Success Center (Halvorsen Library, Level 1). Call (715) 555–0170 or email success@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or sign in to MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If it turns out another office owns the question, they will route it rather than send you back to the start.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
