The Gulf Coast Campus Safety Summit
About the Conference
The Gulf Coast Campus Safety Summit is a regional and affordable conference for college and university administrators, faculty, staff, and students interested in improving their campus efforts to prevent and respond to sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking. The Gulf Coast Campus Safety Summit is currently being planned for 2024. Updates will be announced soon.
The Summit is designed for key college personnel from the states of Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida. Those invited include: Title IX coordinators, college/university legal representatives, campus and public safety officers, residential life and student affairs personnel, athletic directors, women’s center staff, student leaders, health and counseling professionals, and other campus and community representatives interested in campus safety.
Thanks to corporate and foundation sponsors and partnerships, we are able to keep the Gulf Coast Campus Safety Summit registration fees extremely affordable. Our rationale is to encourage campuses to have multi-disciplinary teams to attend, increasing the impact of the Summit on every campus represented. We are committed to hosting a wide range of regional campus safety representatives at every Summit, while maintaining the highest quality conference of its kind.
The Gulf Coast Campus Safety Summit is the result of a collaborative relationship between Jana’s Campaign, Inc., Harris County Domestic Violence Coordinating Council, and AVDA (Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse). Utilizing their expertise and knowledge of the field these partners provide conference coordination and facilitation for the Summit. Other colleges, universities and gender-based advocacy groups are participating as supporters and collaborators for this project.

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.
