The U.S. Department of Education’s Higher Education Center for Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Violence Prevention announces an upcoming Webinar:

 

Using New Student Orientation to Prevent Violence Against Women on College Campuses

 

Thursday, March 8, 2012, 1 p.m.–2:30 p.m. Eastern Time

 

Presenters: Rocco L. “Chip” Capraro, Ph.D. of Hobart and William Smith Colleges, and  Shelly Rutz Maxwell, M.S.W., L.C.S.W. of University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Facilitated by Linda Langford, Sc.D., Associate Center Director at the Higher Education Center for Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Violence Prevention

 

This Webinar will provide examples of how campuses can use new student orientation as an entry point to a linked series of prevention efforts addressing violence against women across the school year and throughout the college experience. Two campus prevention practitioners will share their programs. Examples will include (1) one campus’ sexual violence prevention initiative that starts with orientation and builds deliberately over the first two years on campus; and (2) a second campus that addresses violence against women both separately and as part of an overall health and wellness campaign that starts with orientation. The presenters will provide an overview of their violence against women overall programs, describe how their orientation programs serve as an initial kickoff, and discuss how they overcame barriers to coordinating orientation with other violence against women programs.
