Job Summary
About the McCluskey Center for Violence Prevention
The McCluskey Center for Violence Prevention (MCVP) is dedicated to engaging in research and education to eliminate relationship and sexual violence (RSV) among college students. Specifically, we focus on the primary prevention of RSV by addressing perpetration and shifting culture.

Further, the Center seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners to better understand and effectively address RSV among college students.
