Calvin Receives Grant to Reduce Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault

"Sexual violence is not just something that happens outside of our community," said Sarah Visser, vice president for student life at Calvin. "This grant allows us to continue to strengthen these efforts, in collaboration with our amazing community partners, while further equipping our students to step up and lead."
Calvin will use the grant create a Peer Education and Empowerment to Reduce Sexual Violence Team, which will provide peer education, awareness and connect to students seeking ongoing help after sharing an experience of sexual assault, stalking, dating violence, or domestic violence.
The team will also strengthen victim services on campus, implement culturally and linguistically appropriate educational programs to reach traditional and underserved groups, and obtain technology for cyber stalking investigation and response.
