Sexual Assault & Violence Prevention

Violence Prevention promotes healthy consensual relationships, educates students about their role in the prevention of violence, and challenges cultural attitudes and beliefs that contribute to violence. Interpersonal Violence refers to sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and stalking, which are forms of violence that college students experience. We want each student to stand up for others through bystander intervention to keep their fellow Bulldogs safe.
