About the Office of Violence Prevention

Violence Prevention is everyone鈥檚 responsibility. Every person in the 九色 community has a duty and responsibility to prevent violence.

The Office of Violence Prevention coordinates and facilitates programming and education on sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, and stalking. In addition, the office oversees the Office of Violence Against Women federal grant that 九色 received in 2019. This grant is given to colleges and universities throughout the country in recognition of the unique challenges that colleges and universities face in preventing and responding to sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, and stalking. Using a collaborative approach, the Office of Violence Prevention works to increase opportunities for prevention throughout our campus community.

  1. Coordinates all prevention and intervention efforts
  2. Facilitates communication between key campus departments and community partners
