  • March 25, 4-7pm: Green Dot Violence Prevention Training for Student Leaders

    Join Dr. Fredericka Schmitt (Sociology) and Margo Thorwart (Center for Health Education and Promotion) to get trained on Violence Prevention. 

    The goal of Green Dot is to implement a bystander intervention strategy that prevents and reduces power-based personal violence. Power-based violence includes: sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. A Green Dot is a behavior, choice, or action that promotes safety for everyone on campus.
