2014 Sexual Assault Prevention Conference

Call to Action: Creating and Maintaining Safe Campuses 
April 2-3, 2014

 

Incidents of gender violence (including sexual harassment, sexual assault, interpersonal violence and stalking) prevent members of our community from fully participating in the diverse and rich experiences our classrooms and co-curricular activities provide.  Join the University of Rochester and other members of the western NY higher education community as we discuss, examine and collaborate to create best practices in the prevention and response to incidents of gender violence on campus.
