Green Dot Expo The Green Dot strategy educates and empowers students, staff, and faculty to create a community where violence is not tolerated, and everyone plays a part in creating a culture of respect. It relies on the premise that if everyone does their small part and commits to individual responsibility, the combined effect is a safe campus culture that is intolerant of violence. The college-based curriculum draws heavily on the experiences of college students and the reality of this issue in their lives. This curriculum uses interactive activities to reinforce core concepts and encourages participants to envision their future and the world in which they want to live, then aligns their bystander behavior with that vision. Topics include domestic and dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. This event occurred in March. | Office of Campus Life seact@ius.edu |
Domestic Violence Awareness In partnership with the Center for Women and Families, advocates hold office hours on campus twice a week. The center also provides tabling events once a month focusing on different topics including dating and domestic violence and sexual assault, in partnership with different student organizations across campus. | Office of Campus Life seact@ius.edu |
