Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

[Yvette Upton <>]

I am so pleased that Georgia Tech has created a permanent, full-time 
position to work specifically on the issue of sexual violence. This 
Violence Prevention Program Coordinator would work closely with our 
new program coordinator/victim advocate in the Women's Resource 
Center. This is a niche field, but we know the VAWA grant and other 
programs have created a pool of well-qualified candidates! Please 
help us get the word out.

Feel free to forward to any relevant listservs. Let me know if you 
have questions. Thank you!

Yvette Upton
