HSIs Webinar: Specific Campus’ Approaches to Address Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking 

The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) is partnering with the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), to offer a webinar titled “Specific Campus’ Approaches to Address Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking,” Thursday, December 1, 2022, 3-4 p.m. EDT. 

 HACU member presidents/CEOs, chancellors, and grant administrators are invited to attend the webinar. To register click here. 

 During the webinar, participants will receive an overview of the “Grants to Reduce Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking on Campus Program” (Campus Program) and the new Strengthening Culturally Specific Campus’ Approaches to Address Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Initiative (CSC Initiative). The presenters will share program requirements and the grant application process, including strategies to prepare for the application submission and available resources.  

 OVW’s funding for the Campus Program and the CSC Initiative is authorized by 34 U.S.C. § 20125. Beginning in FY 2022, the appropriation includes an allocation to support Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) in recognition of the unique issues and challenges they face in preventing and responding to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking (DVSAS). The CSC Initiative will serve as a capacity-building grant to support HBCUs, HSIs, and TCUs establish the infrastructure to develop and implement culturally specific approaches to address DVSAS.  

 This briefing is an invitation-only event, intended only for the college and university administrators receiving this email.
