About CVPP

The UC Davis Campus Violence Prevention Program, a component of the University Police Department, is dedicated to reducing the incidence of sexual assault, domestic/dating violence and stalking in the campus community. Our role in reducing violence is multi-faceted: we work to increase campus safety, to broaden public awareness about the nature of sexual assault, domestic/dating violence and stalking, its impact on men and women, and to mitigate the trauma of the victim/survivor. We serve the students, faculty, staff of the University, including UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. Our philosophy is that through education we can prevent these forms of violence.

Our staff consists of a Victim Advocate, an Education and Outreach Coordinator, and a Gender Education Specialist.  Together, we provide a wide variety of programs and services designed to reduce risk and to inform the University community about the resources available for dealing with sexual assault, domestic/dating violence, stalking and their  aftermath. Our educational programs, tailored to meet the needs of individual audiences, include films, discussion groups, lectures, role-plays, and communication exercises. We provide programs to many UC Davis and local community groups, including residence halls, sororities, fraternities, staff, athletic teams, student clubs and academic courses.

The Campus Violence Prevention Program unit recognizes the impact that sexual assault, domestic/dating violence and stalking have on the campus environment. We work to prevent and respond to incidents by collaborating with community services and other campus departments such as the Women's Resources and Research Center, Resident Education Program, Student Judicial Affairs, Sexual Harassment Education Program and Counseling and Psychological Services.
