The Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) influences UI education efforts through a federal grant and associated training and education requirements. OVW endorses approaching education in three phases: pre-orientation, orientation, and post-orientation. Pre-orientation is concerned with incoming students prior to arriving on campus. Orientation is concerned with incoming students after their arrival, but before classes begin. Post-orientation occurs after classes start and includes education activities reaching students throughout their academic career.
