Developing and Implementing Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Initiatives: Strengths and Challenges

Sexual violence remains an ongoing public health problem on campuses. Institutional leaders must set the standards for how the institution responds to and prevents violence. Developing objectives to address this requires a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to create system-level cultural changes. NASPA’s Culture of Respect Collective guides institutions through this process. This session will examine objectives created by 60+ graduated Collective institutions to identify themes, strengths, and barriers to advancing strategic initiatives.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Learn information about NASPA’s Culture of Respect Collective.
2. Recognize the power institutional leaders have in influencing sexual violence prevention and response initiatives.
3. Understand the benefits of utilizing external experts in the creation of sexual violence prevention and response initiatives.
