Sexual & Relational Violence Prevention

Violence based on sex and/or gender, including sexual assault, concerns most of the world's colleges and universities, including William & Mary. We dedicate our work and this site to providing first-rate information and resources to educate our students and the public about sexual assault prevention and awareness. We also want everyone to know what satisfaction relationships - of any mixture - can bring, so we will include information on healthful and healthy relationships.

To learn more about campus wide events addressing healthful relationships and sexual violence prevention, please visit our Sexual Violence Prevention Education Calendar. If you would like to submit an event to this calendar please fill out the Event Submission Form. If you have any questions, please contact [[wellness, wellness@wm.edu]]

William & Mary is dedicated to preventing sexual and relational violence within our campus community. Our efforts of prevention can be seen across campus, throughout the year via:
