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. The Campus Education Subcommittee (CES) was created in the spring of 2011 as a subcommittee of the Anti-Violence Coalition.

Mission:
The CES engages in multidisciplinary collaboration to advance comprehensive, evidence-informed prevention education strategies to end interpersonal violence in the campus community.

For more information, please contact committee chairs Sara Feldmann or Tanya Villhauer.

Goals

These goals will guide the CES for the next two years. A percentage of CES time will be focused on the identified goals and a percentage (not yet determined) will be directed to other projects as needed to align with UI Anti-violence Coalition priorities.

  • Submit to CES and AVC for approval

Goal #2: Make recommendations for prevention education based on campus data
