THE RIVER CONNECT is a virtual community of experts and colleagues gathered together to help each other process the complexities of the work.

Practitioners in higher education have a wide range of experience, expertise, and capacity. The work is usually complicated, often scrutinized, and sometimes litigated. Compliance obligations combined with the shifting legal landscape make it very hard to stay current.  When you CONNECT to the THE RIVER, you will have a continuous flow of information to help guide you in defining your best practice.

The Membership 

Live Feed

Write, post, and get quick responses on a live feed, just like on your other social networking sites, except The River Connect is just for professionals like yourself.  And, we moderate – so it’s more secure. If you are looking for answers on a specific topic, write it on the feed or hop over to the Discussion Forum.

Discussion Forum

Have a question about climate surveys,  current regulations, or need an insider’s  perspective on how to handle a tough investigation? Get answers, opinions,  personal stories —the discussion board is the place to dive deep and get various perspectives on your topic of choice. Topics are searchable by key words, so you can review past discussions.

Live Events

Whether it’s an info session from Joe, our national Clery wizard, an informal conversation with Kateeka or Bill, our DEI virtuosos, or a Q&A with Martin, Myra or Crystal, our ADA/504 wunderkinds, you will be continuously updated, and, perhaps entertained.

Ask-an-Expert Session

Our Co-Founders Jody & Cherie live, eat, and breathe Title IX (as long as it’s gluten-free for Jody) and Andrea, our director of consulting,  knows compliance like she wrote the laws—she may have. They and many others will be here to help answer your very specific, has-this-ever-happened-to-you type of questions.

Highlights Periodical

We all know that anybody can create access to a library and post regulations and laws, but we digest the data for you, highlight timely issues, point out the essentials, and put everything into a neat, readable summary. We uncomplicate the complicated.

Updated Templates, Forms and Communcations

You won’t have to go digging through the hard-to-find government sites or template libraries when we have everything here. The 2023 New Regs are coming and we will be updating the newest items in the paperwork bin, so you don’t have to worry about tracking anything down.

Blog Posts

Bi-weekly blogs on the pressing issues will be posted by one of the team members or guest bloggers. Our dozens of solutions specialists who are working as interim coordinators, investigators, hearing officers and more might post about their perspectives from the field. Or, someone from our Innovations Team might talk about the next big technological tool. Stay tuned….

Experts, Experts, Experts

We won’t miss a chance to brag about our whole team, including our exceptional Directors. That’s because in their roles, they have the breadth, knowledge and experience that’s unmatchable. From our Strategic Partner Directors to our Service Directors. you have a dream team of Chantelle, Martha, Darci, Omar, Sarah, and Karey who will be jumping in for questions, webinars, blog posts, and more.

What Stands us Apart
