NCHERM established the CUBIT (College & University Behavioral Intervention Team) model as a direct response to the Virginia Tech Governor’s Panel Report.  Since the model was introduced to the higher education community in December of 2007, over 30 campuses have begun to implement it.  Additionally, CUBIT is being implemented by all eight universities in the Mississippi State System as a system-level initiative. 

NCHERM has assembled a team of experts for CUBIT implementation:

• Brett A. Sokolow, JD - CUBIT model architect
• Carolyn Reinach-Wolf, Esq. – Mental health law expert
• W. Scott Lewis, JD – Chair of the University of South Carolina Behavioral Intervention Team
• John D. Byrnes – Aggression Management and threat assessment expert
• Stephanie Hughes, Ph.D. and Rebecca White, Ph.D. – designers of a web-based ‘red flag’ reporting platform
