NCSAM 2025 Agenda 
Wednesday, September 10  • 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM ET

11:00 AM
Welcome

Since our founding, Clery Center has been dedicated to increasing transparency and advancing conversations about campus safety. For 35 years, the Clery Act has been a groundbreaking and enduring law, reshaping how colleges and universities approach safety and ensuring students and families have access to critical information.

With the recent passage of the Stop Campus Hazing Act - an important and momentous expansion of the Clery Act - the law now addresses one of the most urgent issues facing today’s students, requiring institutions to report hazing, publish findings, and prioritize prevention in meaningful ways. This milestone underscores the continued relevance and power of the Clery Act to evolve and respond to emerging challenges in campus life.

Join us as we reflect on the profound impact of the Clery Act over the past 35 years, explore how it continues to shape safer campus communities, and look ahead to the future of campus safety in this next era.

Conflict Management: A Model for Addressing Conflict in a University Community
Sponsored by: International Ombuds Association  
Dr. Dax Boatwright, Assistant Director, Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution, Florida Atlantic University
The transition to college presents students with various challenges, including academic pressures, social adjustments, and personal growth. These challenges often give rise to conflicts that, if left unresolved, can hinder student success. Therefore, this session explores the role of conflict management and the use of a conflict management model that provides students with key strategies to address conflict during their college experience. In doing so, this model emphasizes the importance of equipping students with the skills to navigate and resolve disputes constructively within the confines of the university community and with institutional support. By understanding how to manage conflict during their college experience, students can partner with other campus members in fostering a supportive environment that enhances student resilience, academic achievement, and professional development.

The "Why", "How", and "What Now?" of a University Co-responder Program
Andrea Begin, LPC, CAPS Co-Responder Clinician, CU Boulder University
Kathleen Barnes, Assistant Director of the Crisis/Triage Team, CU Boulder
University of Colorado Boulder is a state-funded school with 36,122 undergraduate and graduate students. The co-responder program was developed in 2018 and implemented in 2019 as a collaboration between Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) and the CU Boulder Police Department (CUPD) in response to an increase in the number of suicide attempts, a call for mental health professionals in crisis situations and to grow the collaboration between CUPD, CAPS and other campus partners. In this presentation we will talk about how our program was developed, discuss our collaboration across the university, city, county and state, and review our data and the impacts of our co-responder program. We will also discuss lessons learned, unexpected outcomes and ideas for expansion.

Never Alone: Support for the Remote Campus Community Impacted by VAWA Crimes
Jessica Flores, Ed.D., Clery Compliance Officer, University of Phoenix
From disclosure, to referral, to outreach, this session will share best practices for supporting remote students, faculty, and staff impacted by VAWA crimes. Students studying and employees working solely in online environments who are victims of VAWA crimes that do not occur in defined Clery Act geography or Title IX jurisdiction need support and resources and many times do not have the ability to find them on their own. With a streamlined process, individualized support enables an equitable approach to ensuring those impacted maintain their voices and receive the assistance they deserve.
