Educational Modules
We are so excited to have you join our Ohio Wesleyan community, a place where every student plays a vital role in creating a campus that is safe, supportive, and inclusive for all.
As part of your orientation to OWU, you are required to complete a series of online training modules. These courses are designed to build a collective baseline of knowledge across our community, equipping you with essential information regarding wellness, safety, and campus expectations.
These trainings are a core component of The Bishop Way, Ohio Wesleyan's bystander education and prevention initiative. The Bishop Way empowers our community to make responsible, informed decisions and take an active role in promoting a healthy campus culture.
Please approach these modules with an open mind and active attention, the insights you gain here will help shape a safer, healthier campus for everyone.
