LYNCH, Chief Judge.
Nicole Ponte appeals from the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of her former employer, Steelcase Inc., on her claims under Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., and Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 151B that (1) she was subject to sexual harassment while employed there, and (2) she was terminated in retaliation for her reports of such harassment. We apply the but-for causation standard announced in University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center v. Nassar, — U.S.-, 133 S.Ct. 2517, 186 L.Ed.2d 503 (2013), to plaintiffs Title VII retaliation claim. We affirm.
