The Campus Gender Violence Project (CGVP), funded through the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women, Grants to Reduce Violent Crimes Against Women on Campus Program, is committed to strengthening the community response to gender-based and sexual violence through comprehensive advocacy services, training and education/outreach to the campus community.

The CGVP has worked steadily to build a coordinated community response to addressing gender-based and sexual violence with campus and community partners. The main foci of this project are to:

• Build a coordinated community response to addressing violence on campus
• Enhance services to victims of violence
• Improve education and prevention programs
• Provide training opportunities for campus first responders and service providers, including Judicial Affairs and Police Services
• Develop Peer Education opportunities for students
• Collect quantitative and qualitative data on students’ experiences and perceptions regarding gender violence.
• Strengthen partnerships with community-based domestic violence and sexual assault victim services organizations.
