LOOKING TO ADVANCE YOUR INSTITUTION’S EFFORTS TO ADDRESS SEXUAL VIOLENCE?
Applications to join the Collective are now open! Submit your application and letter of support for this quarter’s cohort by June 30, 2025.
This ambitious two-year program brings together institutions of higher education who are dedicated to ending campus sexual violence and guides them through a rigorous process of self-assessment and targeted organizational change.
Each diverse cohort relies on an expert-developed public health framework, cross campus collaboration, and peer-led learning to make meaningful programmatic and policy changes. Participating institutions receive strategic support and technical assistance throughout the process, as well as detailed documentation of campus-initiated changes that support survivors, prevent sexual violence, and communicate that violence is unacceptable.
COLLECTIVE TIERS
Institutions of higher education can apply to join the Collective on an ongoing basis, with applications for each cohort opening once per quarter. The program is available in two models in order to provide colleges and universities with more options for how to engage with NASPA and Culture of Respect.
