Letter from Title IX Coordinator
Dear Gators,
Lamar State College Orange is committed to creating and maintaining an educational
community
and working environment in which everyone is respected, appreciated, and valued. We
are
dedicated to providing an education and working environment free from sexual misconduct,
including sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and
stalking for
all faculty, staff, students, and visitors.
I currently serve as the Title IX Coordinator for LSCO. The coordinator is responsible
for
coordinating efforts to comply with and implement the Texas State University System
(TSUS)
Sexual Misconduct Policy. The Title IX Coordinator is responsible for conducting the
administrative investigation of reports of Sexual Misconduct and is available to discuss
options,
provide support, explain policy and procedures, and provide education on relevant
issues. Other
members of our LSCO Title IX Team include Assistant Vice President Patty Collins,
Deputy
Coordinator, Investigator Kim Hagler, and Deputy Coordinator and Investigator Alicia
Lloyd.
It is a federal requirement to train the entire campus community about promoting awareness
of
sexual offenses, and risk reduction strategies to enable the community members to
take a role in
preventing and interrupting incidents of sexual misconduct.
New and transfer students are required to attend the LSCO provided training modules for
Sexual Assault Prevention on our campus, the AlcoholEduc for College course that encourages
students to reflect on their drinking and encourages safe decision making, Mental
Well-Being for
Students, and Hazing Awareness & Prevention, making our campus safer for all.
If you are a new or transfer student, you will receive an email with a link to the training
platform. Thank you in advance for participating in the mandatory training modules.
You are
required to complete all modules by October 15, 2025.
We look forward to working with the entire campus in our ongoing Title IX education
and
compliance efforts. If you have any questions concerning Title IX, please contact
me.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Gentry
Director of Safety & Security
Title IX Coordinator
