The grant will fund its efforts to implement culturally relevant and community-responsive prevention education, as well as victim services at the university.
“At a time of increasingly limited resources for student support services, this funding is critical to maintain and expand the innovative prevention education programming and victim advocacy services developed within the last grant cycle,” said Lysa Salsbury, grant principal investigator and U of I Women’s Center director.
