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

Hi Megan, 

Two national programs come to mind. The Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) program is a national program targeting athletes in sexual violence prevention (it's run out of Northeastern U's Sport in Society: http://www.northeastern.edu/sportinsociety/mentors-in-violence-prevention/). While it has been formally evaluated with athletes only at the high school level, there was an evaluation of its adaptation for Greek-affiliated students at Syracuse University: http://www.courtinnovation.org/sites/default/files/MVP_evaluation.pdf 

University of Arizona'a Step Up! program was also originally designed for athletes, but has been adapted and replicated for other student groups. Like MVP, it calls upon bystander intervention strategies to address sexual violence, but is also applicable to other problematic behaviors like alcohol abuse. 

Feel free to contact me for more info. We have been collecting extensive info re: the various bystander programs that are available for campuses to apply to their own student groups. 

Best wishes, 

Helen

Our Athletics department is looking to get their student athletes more involved in violence prevention work. Do any of you who work on/with campuses have programs or campaigns that include your student athletes as part of them? I’d love to be able to give our Athletics people some examples of how student athletes are involved at other schools.

 

Thanks!
