This office is funded under the United States Department of Justice, Office of Violence Against Women Campus Grant Program.

Through receipt of this grant and the creation of this office, Anna Maria College is committed to creating a safe community that is devoted to supporting survivors of violence. To create a trauma-informed campus that enhances and centers victim safety, we are using a Coordinated Community Response Approach.

The Coordinated Community Response Team at Anna Maria College is an interdisciplinary team who collaborates with the shared mission of developing comprehensive, trauma-informed strategies to address Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking on campus. Members of the CCR Team are students, faculty, staff, and community partners committed to empowering survivors, and strive to create a safe, transparent, equitable, and accountable community.

Note: The Office of Violence Prevention and Education is separate from Title IX and Student Conduct. While the offices work closely together OVPEs primary role is to provide education and support to students. We can help you connect you with the appropriate resources, ensuring you feel safe and supported.
