The Culturally Specific Campus Grant听 (CSC) is funded by the U.S. Department of Justice through the Office of Violence Against Women (OVW) to provide support services for survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking (DDVSAS). It also strengthens ULV鈥檚 response听efforts听to these crimes and expands听prevention education听for students, staff and faculty to help stop them before they occur. The CSC grant has allowed us to create a Coordinated Community Response Team (CCRT) that brings together campus departments and local community partners to prevent and respond to DDVSAS.
Our CCRT works collaboratively to:
鈥�听Strengthen prevention education and awareness across campus
鈥�听Improve how ULV responds to disclosures and reports of harm
鈥�听Ensure students have access to trauma–informed, survivor centered support
鈥�听Review and enhance policies, procedures and trainings related to DDVSAS
鈥�听Build strong partnerships with off campus advocacy agencies, law enforcement and legal resources
Our Mission Statement
The CCRT unites campus and community resources to address and prevent domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. Through trauma-informed support and coordinated response, we empower those impacted by violence and promote a safe and responsive campus environment.

- Trauma-Informed: Recognizing the impact of trauma, offering support with respect, dignity, and creating a safe, supportive environment for survivors throughout their healing process.
