Two Delaware Universities Share a Grant to Reduce Gender-Based Violence

The University of Delaware and Delaware State University will share a three-year, $498,130 grant from the Office on Violence Against Women of the U.S. Department of Justice. The grant will fund the Innovative Partnerships to Reduce Gender-Based Violence on Delaware Campuses program.

The program has three major goals:

• Ensuring the effective management of complaints or incidences of sexual assault, intimate partner violence and stalking by enhancing community partnerships and providing specialized training;
• Improving victim services; and
• Institutionalizing universal prevention education.

The program will be under the direction of Angela Seguin, program coordinator for the Wellspring Student Wellness Program at the University of Delaware.
