E-5 Initiative

“Engage, Educate, Empower and Enhance the student experience and create a culture of Excellence.”

The E-5 Initiative grant funds are used to support activities and programming related to dating and domestic violence, stalking and sexual assault. 

Community Effort
Coordinated Community Response Team (CCRT)

The CCRT collectively will work towards building a campus community that is free from Dating and Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking through the implementation that drives awareness prevention and intervention campaigns.

This would be achieved by engaging men as allies rather than perpetrators. There will also be continuous training for our Campus Law Enforcement on effective response to incidences on Stalking, Dating, and Domestic Violence, and Sexual Assault. The target population will be first-year & transfer students, athletes, residential, LGBTQI, student leaders. Sororities and fraternities, males, faculty, staff, and students.
