Bystander Initiative:  Sexual Assault Prevention

In collaboration with Dr. Anne Forrest, Associate Professor in Women’s and Gender Studies, I have evaluated the effectiveness of our campus Bystander Initiative to Mitigate Sexual Assault on Campus (BI) on the undergraduate students who take a 3-hr adaptation of the University of New Hampshire’s Bringing in the Bystander® workshop (see Senn & Forrest, 2015). In 2010, we began conducting a campus wide survey annually and will continue it until 2020. We will use this survey to evaluate whether our institutionalization model (See Forrest & Senn, 2017; Senn & Forrest, 2013) succeeds in producing a campus climate change.
