A community committed to ending violence and supporting survivors

The Office of Violence Prevention and Education was founded at Anna Maria College in 2024 to address Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking on campus. 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, bringing faculty, staff, students, and local community partners from a range of disciplines and backgrounds to the table.
