Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss our efforts to prepare students to take control and make a positive change as they enter the workplace; specifically, the authors developed and delivered a topics course entitled: #MeToo: Sexual Harassment in the Workplace. Our goal in offering this class was to equip our students to challenge workplace harassment and enable them to make positive changes in how their generation and future generations shape organizational behavior. Our mission at the University of St. Catherine is to prepare women to lead and influence, thus we viewed this course offering as mission-critical work. The most valuable component of our course was the incorporation of a full-day seminar on the topic. A panel of executives, HR Leaders, and attorneys specializing in workplace issues and those with harassment experience joined us to discuss the issue from multiple perspectives.
