About the Office of Violence Prevention
Violence Prevention is everyone’s responsibility. Every person in the Rhodes community has a duty and responsibility to prevent violence.
The Office of Violence Prevention coordinates and facilitates programming and education on sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, and stalking. In addition, the office oversees the Office of Violence Against Women federal grant that Rhodes received in 2019.

Using a collaborative approach, the Office of Violence Prevention works to increase opportunities for prevention throughout our campus community.
