Friends,

Don’t miss the September 20 Campus Summit! The day will feature training delivered by Black Women’s Blueprint, a knowledge marketplace, and the launch of our new best practices manuals for college/universities and community colleges. This gathering has been designed specifically for small colleges, community colleges, and Sexual and Domestic Violence Agencies. See you there!

This summit is intended for both campus professionals and sexual and domestic violence agencies and will provide an opportunity for advocates, campus administrators, safety and compliance officers, and allied professionals who work on issues of gender-based violence to explore how racial justice and asset-building lenses can inform trauma-informed advocacy and prevention in campus systems, with a particular focus on community colleges and small campuses.

Summit offerings include:

• Training and facilitated discussion by the Black Women’s Blueprint: Building Cultural Competence in Campus System -Campuses may be at different stages at different times with different populations and cultural groups. This workshop provides a framework and process for achieving cultural competence along a continuum and sets forth six stages. Participants will develop tools to assess and measure cultural competency in: physical environments, materials and resources, communication styles, values and attitudes. They will learn to incorporate what they’ve learned in all aspects of policy-making, administration, practice and service delivery, systematically involving both students and communities. 
  
  
• A Community Knowledge Marketplace - Participants will be given the opportunity to have a series of 30 minute discussions with different groups of peers and practitioners about the barriers, successes, and emerging best practices in implementing Title IX, institutionalizing advocacy, creating trauma-informed practices for adjudication and justice processes, and building culturally relevant advocacy and violence prevention programming. 
  
  
• Launch and sharing of new campus guidance document, Safety and Justice for ALL: Best Practices for Virginia Colleges Addressing Gender-Based Violence – This brief discussion and training will focus on the newly developed Campus Best Practices Guides for Community Colleges and 4-year institutions. Participants will be provided with a copy of the new guides. 
  
  

This Summit will be an opportunity for advocates, community members/leaders, and allied professionals in gender-based violence work to strengthen relationships, explore promising practices, and impact the overall response to survivors on campuses in Virginia.
