co-chairs.

Mission

The mission of the Connecticut College Consortium Against Sexual Assault is to provide a forum for campus faculty, administrators, and students to address the issues of sexual assault and other forms of violence against women on college and university campuses; and to share information, strategies, ideas and resources in order to strengthen and support each institution’s work to end sexual violence.

Benefits

A recent survey of our members highlighted the many benefits of joining the College Consortium:

• Training & workshops on key issues
• Greater collaboration between campus staff and community based sexual assault programs
• Enhanced sexual assault prevention programs
• Increased availability of up to date materials and resources and the power to develop better ones.
