Sexual Violence Prevention Coordination Team (SVPCT)
The Sexual Violence Prevention Virtual Resource Center is an initiative of Keene State College’s Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) Campus Grant. It is led by the Sexual Violence Prevention Coordination Team (SVPCT), a multidisciplinary team coordinated by OVW Program Director, Catherine “Catt” Workman. The Program Director oversees the implementation of the College’s sexual violence prevention initiatives and ensures compliance with OVW grant requirements.
The SVPCT brings together campus and community partners to strengthen Keene State’s response to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. Through collaboration, prevention education, training, trauma-informed practices, and coordinated response, the team works to foster a safer, more supportive, and inclusive campus for all students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
The team oversees the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the College’s OVW Campus Grant initiatives across five priority areas:
- Coordinated Community Response
- Comprehensive Prevention
- Student Conduct
- Law Enforcement
- Victim/Survivor Services
The SVPCT is committed to promoting a healthy campus culture grounded in Keene State’s core values. Together, we strive to:
- Respect all individuals and foster a supportive community.
- Commit to lifelong learning.
- Build a more just society.
- Advance equity and sustainability.
- Take action that benefits others.
Together, we are building a campus community where every person is valued, supported, and empowered to help prevent sexual violence.
