Scholars are invited to participate in the workshops offered by the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities. Please review the list below and sign up to attend a workshop.
Decision Making Workshop
The Community Values & Decision Making Workshop is a 60 minute, interactive session that has been developed to assist students in personal exploration of their values. The program is designed to have students realize and recognize inconsistencies in what they say they value and what their actions reflect.
The goal of the workshop is to assist students in acquiring skills to make sound decisions that are congruent to their personal values, the UC Merced Principles of Community, and their future goals. It is our hope that students will walk away with an increased understanding of their own morals and values, along with tools that will support students in times where difficult decisions must be made.
There are 2 workshop formats. One is designed for students specifically that have experienced the disciplinary process. The workshop is mandatory for all students who have been assigned. Please complete this form to register for the workshop. Workshop Form

Free Speech & Advocacy Workshop
The Free Speech and Advocacy Workshop is a 60-minute informative workshop that develops students’ understanding of the UC Merced Free Speech policies. These policies are to be followed by all students, faculty, and staff. We cover topics such as: free speech in the classroom, online, campus postings, and campus property in general. The workshop is meant to be an interactive and engaging experience for both staff and those attending. At the end, there will be a time for attendees to get their questions answered by OSRR staff.
The goal of the workshop is to inform students on how to respond positively in situations. Although we have the freedom to react, we should do so in a respectful manner. This workshop will help students understand how they should approach difficult situations that may fall in line with Free Speech laws and University policies.
The Free Speech and Advocacy workshop is open to all students and organizations on campus. To sign up or request a workshop, please email oscinterns@ucmerced.edu.
