About MS. GRAY
Marijke Gray
Converting compliance into practice so survivors stay enrolled
Marijke Gray helps universities convert compliance into practice so survivors stay enrolled. A U.S. Army veteran and former federal/college administrator, she translates policy into frontline scripts, routing, and dashboards.
Her work focuses on the gap between Title IX compliance and what faculty and staff can actually do tomorrow morning when a student discloses trauma. She builds systems that faculty can use without legal training and administrators can measure.
Marijke's approach is grounded in trauma-informed practice, retention mathematics, and operational reality. She doesn't teach theory. She installs systems that move students from silence to support to persistence.
The L³ Method
Lived
As a survivor, Marijke understands the silence, the calculation, and the system barriers that prevent disclosure. This lived experience shapes every signal, script, and routing protocol she designs.
Learned
With federal and higher-ed administrative experience, Marijke has seen both sides: the policy intent at the federal level and the implementation gap on campus. She knows what gets written, what gets trained, and what actually gets used.
Led
Marijke has installed Voice-Safe systems across multiple campus types and sizes. She's led workshops, accelerators, and annual partnerships that produced measurable persistence increases within one academic term. She doesn't theorize. She implements.
Ethics & Safeguarding
All Voice-Safe systems are designed with survivor safety and autonomy at the center. Marijke does not use graphic language, trauma voyeurism, or sensationalized case studies in training. She focuses on signals, systems, and measurable outcomes.
Student privacy is protected through cohort-level reporting. Individual student data is never tracked. All training emphasizes trauma-informed consent, confidentiality-first routing, and survivor autonomy.
Marijke's work aligns with SHRM guidelines for workplace trauma support and DEI best practices. She works across political contexts, focusing on retention mathematics and operational systems rather than ideology.
Professional Alignment
SHRM-Aligned
All training materials and system designs align with Society for Human Resource Management standards for workplace trauma support and employee development.
Veteran-Informed
As a U.S. Army veteran, Marijke understands military sexual trauma (MST) and builds specific routing protocols for student veteran populations.
Title IX Compliant
All systems are designed to support Title IX compliance while translating policy into practice. Marijke works with, not around, existing Title IX infrastructure.
DEI-Centered
Voice-Safe systems are designed for diverse student populations and center equity in signal design, routing protocols, and outcome measurement.
