The webinar discussed how colleges can comply with the NCAA's new policy requiring annual sexual assault prevention training for student athletes and staff. The policy aims to prevent campus sexual violence through leadership commitment, collaboration, compliance, education and engagement. Challenges in implementing effective training were identified, such as customizing content and tracking participation. A solution of online courses tailored for athletes and staff was proposed, along with a dedicated platform for tracking completion to satisfy the NCAA's reporting requirements.
