The WT Camps Coordinator is Renae Foster, the Director for the Extended Studies Department is Jessica Hanke and the Vice President of Research and Compliance for the University is Richard Smith.
Campus Programs for Minors are University-sponsored events and activities that typically include all but are not limited to the following elements:
- The participant group is made up, in whole or in part, of individuals under the age of 18.
- A university department, college, administrative unit, professional school, branch campus, recognized student organization, and/or third-party assuming care, custody, and/or control of the participants.
- May or may not collect fees from participants.
Our Goal
Our goal is to facilitate efforts that create an environment where youth are consistently safe on our campuses and institutional spaces and where our faculty, staff, and student organizations who engage with youth understand their risk responsibility and implement a high standard of youth protection.
