University of Vermont is pleased to welcome End TAB or End Technology Enabled Abuse to campus this fall. End TAB focuses on giving non-tech experts to navigate and address abuse in the digital age. End TAB is the go-to training partner for hundreds of nonprofits, colleges, courts, law enforcement agencies, the military, K-12 schools and other public and private organizations.

These sessions are focused on understanding and addressing digital violence on campus. Exploring emerging trends like sextortion, deepfake abuse, and coercive behavior on dating apps. Participants will learn how to recognize red flags, respond with trauma-informed support, and guide students to resources. We’ll also discuss trends you’re seeing on campus and ways to build safer online cultures and prevent harm before it starts. The sessions are open to all campus employees—bring your questions and your curiosity. 

Session I: Nov. 5th 11-12:30pm lunch provided and registration is required (in person at Jack and Shirley Pavilion, Alumni House)

Session II: Nov 6th 9am-10:30am, light refreshments provided (hybrid format, in person and online)
