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

["Kades, Roshelle" <>]

Various staff and faculty members at Goucher have been working to think more 
innovatively and comprehensively about how we program to our entire student 
body. As I'm sure is a common occurrence, we have found that it is much 
easier to educate first year students about sexual violence, dating violence, 
and stalking because of certain requirements they have (such as Orientation 
and the first year experience course).



Our thinking on increasing upperclass attendance at our education events is 
to offer more variety in our programs, in the hopes that more students will 
feel as though something we offer is appealing to them. In other words, we 
are trying to build programs that are not solely aimed at "the choir." While 
we have considered finding a way to make some program, whether live or 
online, mandatory for all upperclass students, we have not yet decided that 
is the right route for us.



I am interested in learning what other insitutions have tried, whether 
mandatory or not, to increase both the numbers and the diversity of 
attendance from upperclass students as well as transfers and graduate 
students. What has or has not worked for you?



Thanks in advance for your insight,
