About
Over time, approaches and strategies taken by campus leaders to prevent gender violence and all forms of harm and abuse can involve many different groups, incorporate multiple initiatives and present countless challenges and setbacks. The only thing that's certain for those who commit to making a positive change or shift in campus culture, is that once you start, there's no turning back. Meaningful and sustainable practices and routines are critically important to momentum and capacity building. This presentation will share strategies, approaches, and lessons learned from the University of Northern Iowa's 20 year "prevention story." Facilitators will discuss monthly and annual efforts that help to systemically embed and adopt a spectrum of prevention framework in order to practice and institutionalize gender violence prevention programming and initiatives among students, staff and its broader community. Is it a sprint, marathon, or something else? Please join the conversation.
