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

["Seguin, Angela" <>]

Hello Colleagues,

My office, Student Wellness & Health Promotion, is responsible for prevention education during the first few days of school when incoming first year students have extended orientation.  Our campus has 19,000 undergraduates -- about 4,700 of whom are first years.  This number of incoming first years has grown every year for the past several years, which has created some unique challenges for our campus.

We are looking to update how we do education regarding sexual violence and alcohol during that first extended orientation week.  I would love to hear especially from folks on similarly-sized campuses about evidence-based best practices. 

I know there are a variety of options - contracted guest speakers, theater performances, peer education, passive programming, etc.  I am hoping to hear what WORKS at achieving your learning outcomes, and what you LIKE and RECOMMEND.  I am interested in all aspects -- format, how many students you educate at a time, how you get students there, and how it fits into your overall structure for extended orientation programming.

Thanks so much in advance for whatever information you can share!

Angela
