The Midwest Campus Safety Summit
A conference on preventing and responding to gender-based violence on college campuses.
About the Conference
The Summit is scheduled for September 18-19, 2019 on the campus of Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. The Midwest Campus Safety Summit will host national experts and encourage the sharing of best practices among participants.
The Summit is designed for key college personnel from the states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia. Those invited include: Title IX officers, college/university legal representatives, 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 Midwest 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 Midwest Campus Safety Summit is the result of a collaborative relationship between Ball State University and Jana’s Campaign, Inc. Utilizing their expertise and knowledge of the field, both Ball State University and Jana’s Campaign, Inc. provides 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.
