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 16-17, 2022 in Lawrence, KS at the University of Kansas.
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., the University of Kansas, and the KU Sexual Assault Prevention & Education Center. 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.
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.

2019 Summit Feedback
“This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I absolutely loved attending!!” “More individuals, specifically higher-ups at institutions, need to attend this conference. Sexual assault, gender violence, and dating violence prevention should not just be the work of the Housing/Title IX/DEI offices.” |
“Excellent spread of topics and very informative! I appreciated that there were attendees from a wide variety of disciplines, as it furthered discussion.” “Great conference with great information. I'm not in the field of this work directly but is definitely informative on how I can apply it to my daily work.” |
