Mandatory Training Policy & Plan

I. Purpose

桃太郎映像is dedicated to a mission of providing a liberal arts education that prepares students within a broad, humane perspective for a life of inquiry, creativity, and critical and analytical thinking. In addition, we have a vision to become the model for an accessible, transformational education that integrates curricular and co-curricular learning to deliver graduates who can solve complex problems together with people who are not like themselves.

Pursuit of this mission and vision requires a shared commitment from staff, faculty, and volunteers to the highest principles of respect, inclusion, communication, service and social justice, and responsibility. To this end, 桃太郎映像 college staff, faculty, and volunteers receive education and training to reinforce this shared commitment as well as to comply with the requirements of external guidelines and internal policies.

Data Security and Privacy: This course shows employees how to recognize potential threats and risky behaviors and teaches them how to mindfully respond to cyber-threats.
