BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTION TEAM
ÄÌÌÇÖ±²¥ University has established a campus safety resource called the Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT).
Considered a best practice among universities and colleges, the BIT will provide assessment and intervention for any individual whose behavior is threatening or concerning to the ÄÌÌÇÖ±²¥ University community. This resource is in addition to the efforts of the University’s existing CARE Committee, whose focus is to help students experiencing personal difficulties by offering an informed and caring response. These groups are here to support our community and provide an important safety resource.
