Office of Violence Prevention
The Mount’s Office of Violence Prevention is an initiative to educate our community about relational health and the way we interact with ourselves and others. We offer private campus conversations as well as events that inspire empowerment and educate about prevention of violence.
We collaborate with several other offices on campus, including Title IX and Counseling Services, to provide on and off campus resources for students related to relational, sexual, dating, domestic, and stalking-related violence prevention.
Office of Violence Prevention Events
Our office holds events throughout the year to bring awareness to domestic, sexual, and other forms of violence and pledge students to fight against violence.
Take Back the Night
Each year, we hold a candlelight march around campus in honor of those who have been affected by violence.
