As colleges and universities we are increasingly feeling the pressure of the national spotlight on college accountability and escalating emphasis on meeting mandates around sexual assault prevention and response. It is easy to lose sight of the meaning behind the mandates. Join us to explore the approaches taken at two dissimilar institutions. Participants will:
-
Learn the role of a Rape Crisis Center to assist with coalition building and victim response
-
Gain tools for engaging campus stakeholders and planning for prevention
-
Learn about approaches to launching bystander intervention programming
-
Have the opportunity to ask questions
