The new deputy Title IX coordinator discusses the resources offered by the office and some of the challenges of working in this field.
Stanford’s SHARE/Title IX Office has planned a series of events and educational opportunities throughout April to commemorate National Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). The next event is the annual Take Back the Night rally and march on Tuesday, April 18, beginning at 7 p.m. at White Plaza.
Organizing SAAM events is just one of the many ways the SHARE/Title IX Office serves the Stanford community. To shed light on some of the work of the office and its many resources and educational opportunities, Stanford Report interviewed Marti McCaleb, the new deputy Title IX coordinator and the director of the SHARE Education team who started January 2023.
McCaleb has a wealth of experience in this sphere, having previously served as the Title IX Coordinator at Emory University and at Middlebury College. She is also a yoga teacher, a martial artist, and a self-defense instructor. In addition, she works with a West Coast pit bull rescue organization, fostering and training dogs.
