Leading national experts will discuss critical issues that impact the policies and procedures that must be in place for the proper management and investigation of sexual assaults, the Clery Act and Title IX compliance, and other safety and violence prevention initiatives.  Structured to encourage a cross-disciplinary approach to these complex campus and community public health issues, attendees will have significant opportunities to share expertise and resources with colleagues from across the country.
