In this session you’ll have a chance to learn some of the rules of the game so that when you attend matches this fall you’ll at least know a little more than your friends! You’ll have a chance to throw a ball around, learn to pass and play some fun and simple games.
Join us for an unforgettable event where you’ll learn important information about Title IX and Student Conduct — and meet a very special guest, Cookie Monster the mini horse! 🐴✨ Come find out how WOU supports a safe, respectful, and welcoming campus for all students through Title IX and the Student Conduct process.
We'll cover the FOUR R's: rights, responsibilities, reporting, and resources in an engaging, approachable way — no boring lectures here! Plus, there’s plenty of time for fun, photos, and friendly conversations with Cookie Monster and campus staff.
Come for the learning, stay for the cookies (the horse and the snacks)!
