SEXUAL VIOLENCE PREVENTION & A (BL-SVPA-IUBLA)

The Office of Student Life is focused on building a strong foundation to ensure every student's Indiana University experience is positive, safe, healthy, and meaningful. The Office of Student Life staff and multiple departments aim to help students navigate their time at IU, providing the tools they need to be successful in school and after graduation. Students are our priority, and their health, safety, and overall well-being are our core mission.

The Office for Sexual Violence Prevention and Victim Advocacy (SVPVA) is proud to be a department within the Office of Student Life, committed to promoting learning and respect by integrating diversity, equity and inclusion in all programs, interactions, and partnerships. We commit to creating and maintaining an inclusive environment where all people are respected, valued, and affirmed so that they may know they matter and belong at Indiana University.

Peer Educators will primarily present the 90-minute "It's On Us: Bystander Intervention Program" that is required for first-year students.
