The Rocky Mountain Campus Safety Summit
About the Conference
The Rocky Mountain Campus Safety Summit is a regional and affordable conference for college and university administrators, faculty, staff, advocates, Title IX officers, Campus Security and Police, and students interested in improving their campus efforts to prevent and respond to sexual assault, gender and relationship violence, and stalking. The 2019 Summit will be Wednesday and Thursday, June 19-20, and will be held at the University of Denver in Denver, Colorado. At the conference Jana's Campaign will host national experts, and encourages the sharing of best practices among participants.
The Summit is designed for key college personnel from the states of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. 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 Rocky Mountain 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.

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.

2018 Summit Feedback
“The most informative session for me was on human trafficking. This gave me a new perspective about sex workers and opened my eyes to how common this problem is.” “The conference was worth every minute of my time! “I absolutely loved it. I will bring a lot of information back to my campus and community after this summit.” |
“Excellent keynote speakers; their stories have once again inspired me to recommit myself to Title IX work.” “The sessions seemed to have a good spread of offerings. I like that you brought in experts who presented their research.” “I learned so much and it helped me with information I can share on my campus to hopefully improve our communication and student education.” |
