Respect and consideration for others, both within and outside workshop sessions, readings and other activities are core values to be upheld by all. Harassment of community members on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, marital status or disability is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Participants are expected to adhere to all federal, state and local laws and regulations while enrolled in a Cave Canem program or participating in a Cave Canem activity. Should a staff member, faculty member, instructor, volunteer or participant be found to violate any aspect of the organization’s code of conduct, Cave Canem reserves the right to dismiss her or him from the program or activity. Consequences may include, but not be limited to, suspension, dismissal from the current program or activity, and/or ineligibility for all future activities.
Policy on Sexual Harassment It is the policy of Cave Canem Foundation, Inc. that no member of the Cave Canem community— faculty members, instructors, staff, administrators, contractors, fellows, workshop participants or third parties—may sexually harass any other member of the community. Sexual harassment violates the community values and principles of our organization and disrupts the living and learning environment for all. Sexual harassment is any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature, which includes, but is not limited to, unwelcome sexual advances; the use or threatened use of sexual favors as a basis for Cave Canem program decisions; conduct that creates a hostile, intimidating or offensive environment; conduct that has the effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s activity in Cave Canem programs; and other verbal, nonverbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature that is sufficiently severe, persistent or pervasive to limit a person’s ability to participate in or benefit from a Cave Canem program or activity. Examples of sexual harassment may include: • Pressure for a dating, romantic or intimate relationship • Unwelcome sexual advances • Unwelcome touching, kissing, hugging or massaging • Disregarding “no means no” • Pressure for or forced sexual activity • Unnecessary references to parts of the body • Remarks about a personʹs gender, nonconformity with gender stereotypes, or sexual orientation • Sexual innuendoes or humor • Obscene gestures • Sexual graffiti, pictures or posters • Sexually explicit profanity • Stalking or cyberbullying that is based on gender or sex • E‐mail, texting (“sexting”) and Internet use that violates this policy • Sexual assault or violence

From Greater Pittsburgh International Airport
This airport is located about 14 miles west of center city Pittsburgh. There are two alternate routes offered below for your consideration. The first is direct, shorter, and it involves transiting Center City via Interstate Highway – more visually interesting to the first-time or infrequent visitor to Pittsburgh. The second is a bit longer, less direct, skirts the city proper, and yet can offer a timesaving alternate route during rush-hour traffic.
Direct –Through the City • From the airport, follow PA Route 60 East just a few miles to where it merges with U.S. Routes 22 and 30 (also call The Parkway West). • Now follow U.S. 22/30 just a few additional miles to where it begins to be additionally designated as I- 279 (DO NOT turn onto I-79). • Follow I-279 into the city of Pittsburgh. As you come down the hill and approach the Fort Pitt Tunnel, you would do well to be in the right lane before entering the tunnel. • As you leave the Fort Pitt Tunnel behind and drive onto the Fort Pitt Bridge stay in the RIGHT LANE and prepare to make a ninety degree RIGHT TURN at the far end of the bridge. • Center City Pittsburgh is now on your left and the Monongahela River is on your right. You should now be traveling east on I-376 (also known as the Parkway East). • Follow I-376 East for about 12 miles to the Monroeville area and take the exit designated for the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76). • Follow I-76 (the turnpike) East for about 14 miles to the first exit, Irwin new #67 (old #7) and follow the directions outlined in 4 on the opposite side.
Indirect – Avoiding the City From the airport, follow PA Route 60 East just a few miles to where it merges with U.S. Routes 22 and 30 (also call The Parkway West). • Now follow U.S. 22/30 just a few additional miles to its intersection with I-79. • Turn south and stay on I-79 to its intersection with I-70, eastbound. • Follow I-70 East to New Stanton • From New Stanton take U.S. Route 119 north about six miles to the Greensburg area. • At intersection of U.S. Routes 119 and 30, turn left at traffic light and follow U.S. Rt. 30 east for about one mile. • Exit right from U.S. Rt. 30 at the Greensburg- Mt. Pleasant Road exit. • At Stop sign at the foot of the ramp turn right and follow Mt. Pleasant Road for approximately 8/10 mile. • Turn right at the traffic light (Finoli Drive) and right again at the first turn (North Campus Road).
