Did you know that SPARC training is mandatory for all students enrolled at Hostos?
All Hostos students are required to complete SPARC training. This is part of New York State’s Enough is Enough law, which requires colleges to provide ongoing education on sexual misconduct to students and staff.
To comply with this law, CUNY offers the Sexual and Interpersonal Violence Prevention and Response Course —an online training that students must complete to maintain enrollment.
