Department of Justice Campus Program
In 2018 St. Bonaventure University received a three-year $300,000 Campus Program grant from the Department of Justice designed to strengthen the campus community through strategic planning, education, prevention programming and enhanced victim services related to gender-based violence and sexual assault.
The Department of Justice Campus Program supports institutions of higher education committed to adopting a comprehensive, community-coordinated response (CCR) to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking.
St. Bonaventure University benefits from the program grant through the enhancement of our campus victim services, campus law enforcement, health and victim services, mandatory education and links to local criminal justice agencies and service providers.
