Mission Statement:
The University of Iowa Anti-violence Coalition (AVC) is a multidisciplinary team focused on ensuring a coordinated community response to prevention and intervention of sexual misconduct, dating/domestic violence, and stalking.
Our office takes pride in facilitating collaboration across campus and within the community. The Anti-violence Coalition meets monthly to discuss pertinent and timely issues pertaining to 1) policies and procedures, 2) education and training, and 3) system response. Updates and recommendations are routinely provided to the University President.
Coalition subcommittees often work on specific priority areas. Recent subcommittees have focused on reviewing web resources for victims/survivors, developing policy recommendations for stalking, and creating tools to promote evidence-informed prevention education strategies.
If you would like to be involved or have questions, contact Monique DiCarlo, the UI Title IX Coordinator.
