introduction Welcome to Anderson Ranch! We are excited to welcome you to your winter program experience, which is sure to be inspiring and exciting. This handbook will help you get the most out of it. Winter programs help you see yourself and your work from a new perspective. Your growth may be as straightforward as learning a new technique or as expansive as provoking a new life’s path. It is likely that your winter program will unfold differently than you imagined; embrace the experience. If you have taken winter programs in the past, remember that no two are alike, but all are sure to inspire you beyond your wildest expectations. Inspiration has always been a part of the mission of the Ranch, and that has not changed. There are, however, new policies in place during this unprecedented time. This winter, you can expect Anderson Ranch to operate with your health and safety as our number one priority. Covid protocols are outlined below under the Health and Safety section. andersonranch.org 4
introduction Winter programs generally meet from 9AM to 5PM, Monday through Friday, with an hour break for lunch, unless stated otherwise in the course description. Winter programs are intensive experiences, and participants may find themselves in the studios in the evenings. Due to health and safety protocols, some studio access will look different this winter. For more information please see the Studio Access section on page 12. In signing up for your winter program(s), you have made a commitment to attend in full. Arriving late, departing early, or missing class in the middle of the day is disruptive. Please come prepared to participate in a positive and constructive manner, and be ready to engage with the instructor, the course material and the other students. The student handbook provides information about how to get to the Ranch, local weather, housing options and other important logistical details. In addition to this handbook, please carefully read your course description and supply list. Familiarity with these will ensure that when you arrive at Anderson Ranch you can immerse yourself in your winter program without delay. If you have any questions regarding course content, faculty, or skill level, please do not hesitate to contact us. andersonranch.org 5

Members of the Ranch community are expected to treat each other with respect. Faculty and staff are expected to teach and demonstrate by example that all members of the community are entitled to respect as human beings. Harassment of one community member by another community member is a violation of Ranch policy. Anderson Ranch Arts Center will diligently monitor both the Ranch environment and anyone coming on to our premises to ensure that inappropriate acts do not occur. When there is a concern or complaint about a behavior or incident, we will immediately investigate the matter and take affirmative remedial action. It is important that everyone understands what behaviors are unacceptable in our community. Anderson Ranch prohibits any conduct by one community member that harasses, intimidates or demeans another community member. Prohibited Acts Harassment or Intimidation: any intentional written, verbal or physical acts including, but not limited to, those shown to be motivated by any characteristic such as race, age, religion, national origin, marital status, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status or disability.

Anonymous complaints will be accepted and investigated to the extent possible. If a suspected criminal act has occurred, law enforcement authorities should be immediately contacted also. Zero Tolerance All acts identified or complained about as violations of this policy will be fully and impartially investigated. In no instance will substantiated policy violations go unpunished. Where appropriate employee discipline, volunteer removal, or contract termination actions will occur. Any acts rising to the level of criminal conduct will be referred to local law enforcement authorities or Child Protective Services. Sanctions Employees or volunteers found to have engaged in non-sexual harassment or intimidation or sexual harassment shall be disciplined appropriately.

Retaliation Retaliatory or intimidating conduct against the filer of a harassment complaint or anyone who has assisted in an investigation is prohibited and shall be considered a policy violation as serious as the harassment itself. Confidentiality Confidentiality will be maintained throughout the investigation to the extent practicable and appropriate under the circumstances to protect the privacy of persons involved.
