Violence Prevention Program

A comprehensive program addressing sexual violence, relationship violence and stalking, the Violence Prevention Program combats violent crimes against women and men on campus. An award from the US Department of Justice supports this work.

We work to strengthen victim/survivor advocacay and services, and to build a coordinated comprehensive education and prevention effort, and create a campus culture that addresses the roots of gender and relationship violence while fostering healthy relationships.

My names is Bridget Joos, and I am the Program Coordinator.
