The Heartland Campus Safety Summit
About the Conference
The Heartland 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 Heartland Campus Safety Summit will be held on November 17-18, 2021.
Thanks to corporate and foundation sponsors and partnerships, we are able to keep Heartland Campus Safety Summit registration fees extremely affordable. Our rationale is to encourage campuses to send 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 Heartland Campus Safety Summit is the result of a collaborative relationship between Jana’s Campaign, Inc. and Johnson County Community College. Utilizing their expertise and knowledge of the field, both Jana’s Campaign, Inc. and Johnson County Community College 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.

Dr. Jennifer Hirsch & Dr. Shamus Khan are the authors of Sexual Citizens: A Landmark Study of Sex, Power, and Assault on Campus. Sexual Citizens transforms how we understand and address the most misunderstood problem on college campuses: widespread sexual assault. Through intimate portraits of life and sex among today’s college students, Dr. Hirsch and Dr. Khan show us sexual assault as a public health crisis.
Dr. Jennifer Hirsch is a professor of socio-medical sciences at Columbia University, and her research spans five intertwined domains: the anthropology of love; gender, sexuality and migration; sexual reproductive & HIV risk practices; Social Science research on sexual assault, and the intersection between anthropology and public health. She was recently named ‘Heroes in the Fight Against Gender-Based Violence’ of New York City.
Dr. Shamus Khan is a professor of sociology and American studies at Princeton University and the author of dozens of books and articles on inequality, American Culture, gender, and elites. His work has appeared in the New Yorker, The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, and many other media outlets.

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.
The conceptual framework for this educational summit was developed with the assistance of the report Beyond Title IX: Guidelines for Preventing and Responding to Gender-Based Violence in Higher Education.
This document was developed by Futures Without Violence and the Avon Foundation for Women.

“For my first experience with this summit, I thought the content was very helpful and the presentations were great!” “Great information. Very important to the work we do on a college campus.” “It was good to keep myself appraised of Title IX and campus safety policy, as well as to learn about some interestingly related issues.” |
“Good tools to take back as we consider barriers, supports, strategies and our overall aspirations.” “Our college will hold a session with all who participated in the virtual Summit and work on updating our policies and procedures.” |
