Gender-Based Violence Prevention Programs and Projects

The VAWA grant supports college programs and projects designed to prevent or respond to campus incidents of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking. In collaboration with community leaders such as the De Pere Police, the Sexual Assault Center and Golden House, St. Norbert College students, faculty and staff are working to build awareness of violence prevention and make our campus a safe place for all.
