Summit Objectives

Campus leaders will be encouraged to develop a team of key campus stakeholders to create a comprehensive and integrated approach to preventing and responding to gender-based violence at their institutions. Furthermore, promoting a focused and coherent system of support that encourages respectful, non-violent relationships will also be addressed. The summit’s ultimate goal is to transform area colleges and universities to:
- Prevent abusive behaviors by engaging faculty, staff, and students in promoting healthy relationships;
- Ensure that the institution is prepared to respond promptly and effectively to incidents and reports of violence when they do occur; and
- Ultimately to change campus norms so that campus members hold themselves and each other to respectful and non-violent standards of interpersonal behavior.
2019 Summit Feedback
"In one session I learned Prevention matters. We can help victims all day everyday but to make a long term impact we need to educate." "As a surviving victim of domestic violence a lot of these points hit home during the presentation I attended. The biggest one is that quote about how once the victim is ready to leave and “they destroy them” is so true." "Loved it all. Loved the reminder during the conference to not to put people in a box and LISTEN to their story." "I loved learning about new ways to provide outreach and education on my campus regarding these issues." |
"Great info! Great to learn more about how to just be in that space with a survivor and empower them to do what they need/want to do." "All of it was engaging! I loved it." "Presenter was very engaging and knowledgeable, incorporated humor into a sometimes difficult topic. Provided great resources and tools that I can take back to my office in Virginia!" "Entire presentation I attended was compelling!" |
