The Department of Education enforces Clery Act compliance through conducting program reviews which evaluate an institution’s compliance with the Act. The final reports of these reviews are public, and trends in their findings can help institutions prioritize their own approach to Clery Act compliance. In this webinar, Clery Center will share trends across program reviews and how they can use that data to set Clery-related goals in their campus safety planning efforts, including strategic planning. As a result of this webinar, participants will:

El arte y la cultura una fuerza representativa en nuestra sociedad. Es una salida para los artistas y las cosas que han experimentado o están enfrentando. También es un reflejo de la sociedad en la que vivimos, para bien o para mal. Podemos usar el arte y la cultura y sus artefactos para generar conversaciones necesarias y obtener una comprensión más profunda del mundo que nos rodea. Este proyecto revela lo que el Hip Hop y la cultura pop nos dicen sobre las relaciones que formamos y el impacto que tienen. ¿Cómo se ven cuando están sanos? ¿Qué puede pasar cuando no lo son? ¿Cuáles son las narrativas sutiles en la música y los videos con los que interactuamos regularmente y qué nos muestran sobre nosotros? ¿Cómo puede esta interrogación aumentar nuestra conciencia y comprensión?

The U. S. Department of Justice (DOJ) through their partnerships with state, local, tribal, territorial, and university LEAs, and the DOJ’s own law enforcement components, developed guidance to help improve law enforcement response to sexual assault and domestic violence. The original guidance was released in 2015 and has been updated in 2022 recognizing that law enforcement officers (LEOs) at all ranks are striving to improve their response to reports of these complex crimes.
Through case studies, an exploration of the impact of explicit and implicit gender bias and examining the history of findings and gender bias lessons learned, participants will familiarize themselves with the eight principles designed to improve their response to sexual assault and domestic violence.

Sexual harassment, abuse, and assault can have short- and long-term physical, emotional, and psychological effects on a person’s well-being and impact an entire community, from the culture and connections between people to the economic toll. Preventing sexual violence means we all must address deep-rooted abuses of power that contribute to inequities in health, safety, and well-being. A health equity approach to preventing sexual violence means that we need to both understand and address the factors that contribute to violence and safety and factors that expose some communities — especially communities that have been historically oppressed — to higher rates of sexual violence.

Establishing culturally specific programs to provide services to victims/survivors of sexual violence and domestic violence have been an excellent practice in filling the gap in victim services. But culturally-specific campus victim services for Asian & Pacific Islander communities are essentially non-existent. Monsoon United Asian Women of Iowa has been in the forefront in creating culturally-specific services for API survivors/victims of sexual violence. Monsoon has strengthened its services on Iowa campuses serving international students from Asia and students who identify as API, APA or Asian Americans by implementing a Peer-to-Peer Advocacy and Outreach Project, which will consist of direct services and community outreach and education. The project is student-led and student-implemented to ensure that services are both age-appropriate and culturally-appropriate.

Learning Objectives:
In this webinar we explore an alternate approach to engaging men and framing masculinity. We discuss how CCR Teams can conceptualize masculinity as a person’s unhealthy/healthy behaviors, rather than as a person’s unhealthy/healthy identity. To do this we use the readiness-to-change model and consider how it can be implemented both within your CCRT itself and with your broader campus programming. Presented by Drew Rizzo from the University of New Hampshire in collaboration with University of Colorado Denver Center on Domestic Violence on September 22, 2016.
This fast-paced webinar is designed to assist campus-based Coordinated Community Response Teams (CCRTs) in better serving transgender survivors of sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and stalking. Many campuses are committed to nurturing an inclusive campus community, but seek additional information to provide more competent prevention programs and response services for transgender and non-binary students and survivors.
This webinar primarily focuses on basic transgender concepts, but will include content specifically geared towards CCRTs on college campuses. Trans-specific sexual assault and intimate partner violence resources will be included, so CCRT’s can provide this information to the transgender survivors they work with, as well as to improve their repertoire of knowledge as victim service providers. This information presented will equip viewers with at least 5 free and easy things they can do to create services and environments that are more trans-welcoming and trans-supportive.
Learning Objectives:
This webinar will summarize key why campus climate surveys are important and what the field has learned from recent large, mutil-school surveys. The second half of the webinar will summarize methodological considerations and best practices in conducting climate surveys, such as instrument development, survey software options, strategies for maximizing response rates, marketing considerations, respondent recruitment and follow-ip, and protecting survivors.
Typically, men make up this significant part of a campus’ population, and effectively mobilizing them to address gender-based violence requires knowledge of them as a group. Conducting focus groups offers one strategy for building that knowledge. This webinar will offer general tips on conducting focus groups as well as more specific information about conducting focus groups in order to learn about mobilizing campus men.
The purpose of this webinar is to establish a foundational understanding of how an intersectional framework and approach can strengthen campus-based Coordinated Community Response Teams (CCRT).
While bystander intervention (BI) has become a popular strategy for preventing gender-based violence, we know from emerging research that men and boys embrace BI more slowly than women and girls. This webinar explores aspects of unhealthy masculinity that contribute to this and will provide participants with strategies based on healthy masculinity that help men and boys more quickly embrace BI and that build their skills to become better at intervening. The role of social and emotional learning and storytelling in relation to healthy masculinity and bystander intervention is also examined.
According to a 2010 study by the Department of Education, nearly 50% of college students are first generation college students. First generation college students are defined as students whose parents have not attended college or completed a bachelor’s degree. First generation college students have a number of intersecting identities that should be celebrated and supported within their campus community. Prevention educators in campus communities can develop content specifically with and for first generation college students to strengthen protective factors against interpersonal violence.
Small changes can make a big difference toward improving an institution’s investigation and adjudication process for campus sexual misconduct cases. This webinar will offer strategies for making your process more trauma-informed without additional costs or even revisions to the institution’s procedures. We will address why a trauma-informed process is important and simple ways you can improve upon your existing structures.
This webinar is based on the assumption that transformative and adult learning practices are two valuable methods of transforming masculine social norms as part of preventing sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. After learning the principles and practices of the two approaches, we will apply them to a dominant and counter story framework as it connects with healthy masculinity. We will also consider the challenges and benefits to using transformational and adult learning practices, and participants will be provided with an example of a practical exercise that uses transformational and adult learning practices to describe healthy masculinity.
This webinar focuses on preparing campus-based CCR teams to understand the impact of privacy and confidentiality on campus climate and survivor recovery, comply with the federal law and professional norms around information sharing, and to communicate effectively about violence on campus within the boundaries of professional confidentiality norms.

Facilitator: Men Can Stop Rape
Mobilizing campus men to prevent gender-based violence is something fairly new to the majority of colleges and universities. Many are only beginning to think about or implement strategies and practices, and many are wondering what other campuses are doing.
This webinar is a chance to learn. Three campuses – a small, liberal arts school, a large state school, and a historically black university – share their efforts to mobilize men.
Presenter: Rebecca Balog, Women of Color Network, Inc. in collaboration with University of Colorado Denver Center on Domestic Violence
During “A Discussion on Communities,” presenters discuss ways we can better identify communities in need, how to build better relationships, and what our barriers in reaching them are. People don’t come with barriers the way institutions and organizations do.
Most services and programs have some components set up to deal with community-specific barriers, but we have to shift our thinking from perceived “deficits” and turn the lens inward on overall programming and craft services that truly serve the full spectrum of needs that people in our constituencies, authentically.
Presenter: Farah Tanis and Sherine Powerful, Black Women’s Blueprint
This webinar is intended to assist with building colleges’ and universities’ capacity to center the identities and lived experiences of a variety of student groups in program delivery and the subsequent assessment of program compatibility and utilization.
Our aim is for each campus to be equipped to respond to the impact of relevant, population-specific, and intersectional factors like geography, transition, and history in addition to interpersonal, social, and cultural realities and beliefs about race, gender, and sexuality, among others, that can function both as challenges or assets in prevention and intervention initiatives for students.

Presenter: Vicky Banyard, University of New Hampshire
This webinar provides an overview of recent work on campus climate surveys and discusses different ways climate surveys can help campus work to respond to and prevent sexual assault, dating and domestic violence and stalking. Different climate survey instruments are discussed as well as new lessons learned from the field about how best to collect climate survey data. Strategies for resourcing surveys on campuses are also be presented.
College students live in a “noisy” environment, rife with messages communicated constantly through newly emerging technology. How can you effectively engage the men on campus in preventing gender-based violence when it’s such a “busy” space? Launching a well-conceived and well-run engaging men public awareness campaign can be a useful means of breaking through the “noise.”
Presenter: Darcie Folsom, Connecticut College in collaboration with Green Dot
Making the team can be tough. In this session, presenters explore “preseason conditioning” to get you ready to take the ice with strategies to create a solid foundation for a working partnership with Athletics. With “teamwork” your prevention work can be enhanced and positively impact campus culture while empowering athletes to see themselves as part of the solution.
The Clery Act requires colleges and universities to disseminate an annual security report (ASR) describing their campus safety and security policies and procedures by October 1st. In this webinar, Alison Kiss and Abigail Boyer from the Clery Center for Security On Campus highlight how institutions can integrate the Violence Against Women Act amendments to the Clery Act into a comprehensive ASR. Through this recording, individuals can:
This webinar discusses findings for the 2014 Campus Program focus groups on working with International Students. Dr. Joan Osa Oviawe discusses considerations for effectively engaging international students in violence prevention efforts on campus including: (1) Culture – understanding how the perceptions of international students towards violence and violence prevention are shaped by their home culture and modes of socialization, (2) Mainstreaming the culture of non-violence – how to recruit International students as effective allies and advocates for change in the campaign against violence, and (3) Orientation – how to help international students navigate the American system (reporting violence, law, police) so that they can become committed allies and navigators for ending violence in their communities.
Speaker: Dr. Victoria Banyard, University of New Hampshire
This webinar provides information on manageable ways to begin to think about evaluating your prevention programs and assessing their impact. Practical and actionable tools and suggestions will be provided.
This webinar explores how to use social marketing as a sexual violence preventions strategy. Using the Know Your Power ® Bystander Intervention Social Marketing Campaign (cola.unh.edu/prevention-innovations/bystander-store-posters) as an example, the webinar explores the components of social marketing, identify how to develop new and adapt existing social marketing campaigns, describe how to effectively disseminate social marketing campaigns, and learn how to evaluate social marketing campaigns to measure success. Specific emphasis focuses on creating and implementing social marketing campaigns that resonate with target audiences and effectively convey prevention goals.
This webinar provides participants with an intersectional framework, which can be used to build their capacity to address violence against women and students of color on their campuses. Using asset-based and participatory assessment models, the workshop will help examine campus readiness and present elements of culturally competent programs that can successfully engage a multiplicity of student identities. Participants will learn how the application of a cultural lens can positively impact the development and implementation of campus programming, learn strategies for creative, inclusive interventions that center the experiences of students of color as these relate to race and ethnicity, as well as other intersecting identities and dynamics. Participants will learn to understand the diversity of needs with which survivors of color may present, understand how to better organize their campus communities of color against violence against women, and shape institutional culture in order to be responsive to students of color.
This webinar presented by CALCASA in collaboration with SAFER Campus and OVW Campus Grantees discusses the importance of students working together with their universities on sexual assault, dating violence and stalking policy. Recently in the media we have seen numerous news stories of college students vocalizing discontent with their universities about policy and response to sexual assault on campus. By being proactive with student involvement in policy, universities can create a more collaborative relationship with students to ensure their needs are being met on campus.
