About the Office of Violence Prevention
Violence Prevention is everyone’s responsibility. Every person in the Â鶹´«Ã½ Â鶹´«Ã½ 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 Â鶹´«Ã½ 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 Â鶹´«Ã½.
