Vector (formerly Foundry)

The University System of Georgia (USG) Board of Regents requires its colleges and universities to provide prevention tools to conduct ongoing awareness, prevention programming and training for the campus community related to sexual misconduct. Georgia State University offers sexual misconduct related training virtually and via the Vector platform for employees to assist in promoting a violence free campus.

Vector is an online learning module that provides information on the prevention of sexual misconduct and your role as a responsible employee. Employees are invited to attend a virtual sexual misconduct educational session or to complete the Vector modules. This will ensure that the university is following the Board of Regents mandate. If you have not attended a virtual session, the online modules are an option for you to receive the information. The online modules will take approximately one-hour and 30 minutes to complete.  You do not have to complete the course and surveys in one sitting. Responses to the surveys are anonymous.  Georgia State will only receive information about the faculty and staff body as a whole and will not see individual employee answers.

Email [email protected] to receive the online Vector module assignment if you will not be attending a virtual class.

Tips for completing the employee Vector modules:

• Use Google Chrome or Firefox web browsers (updated versions).
  Make sure to login using your campus id (example: employee1) do not use your Georgia State email.
• You may stop the training and continue later.
• There are interactive elements (accurate responses must be achieved to proceed to the next module).
• When requesting help take screenshots to assist in troubleshooting efforts, send to [email protected].
• Email [email protected]to request the virtual sexual misconduct training.

If you are a student and you are experiencing problems logging into the AlcoholEdu course, please email Dr. Tammy Turner at [email protected]. Please provide Dr. Turner with your name, campus id and student email.
