Behavioral Intervention Team

A BIT (Behavioral Intervention Team) at a university is a multidisciplinary group of professionals dedicated to promoting student welfare and safety by identifying and addressing behaviors of concern. The primary goal of a BIT is to support students who may be experiencing various challenges.
