DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know that if you ever have concerns about what happens in a dance class, there are many ways to report your concern or initiate a conversation?

Options include: 
- You can email Missy Pfohl Smith, Director of the Program of Dance and Movement, to set up a conversation: m.p.smith@rochester.edu

- You can bring your concern to a member(s) of the student Dance Council and they will relay it to the faculty: urdancecouncil@gmail.com

- You can submit a Bias-Related Incident Report through the Paul J. Burgett International Center. The Burgett Center, along with the College Center for Advising Services and the Director of the Program of Dance and Movement, will be alerted to the concern and will follow-up. These reports will maintain confidentiality at the reporter's request;
 in other words, students can choose to be anonymous or not on these reports.
  
No issue is too small to mention - we want everyone to feel safe and respected during Program of Dance & Movement classes, activities and events!
Replies to this newsletter may not be received.  Please be sure to contact the faculty directly with questions.
