RISE UP Project
The RISE UP Project seeks to create systematic and cultural changes on campus to address sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking by enhancing the victim/survivors services, implementing evidence-based prevention and education programs, and developing and strengthening our campus security and investigation strategies in order to prevent and respond better to prevent and respond better to violence-based crimes.
Coordinated Community Response Team (CCRT)
A campus-wide coordinated response is needed to bring about systematic and cultural changes to our campus's culture towards all forms of interpersonal violence. Therefore, DU has since formed its Coordinated Community Response Team (CCRT). The CCRT takes a multifaceted, coordinated approach to accomplish unified goals, resulting in programs and services being offered on a timely basis, being culturally responsive, and being inclusive of all our students. This is achieved by continuously seeking and engaging key stakeholders from the community and campus, students, faculty, staff, and administrators.
The CCRT is an alliance of campus and community partners who engage in prevention efforts to change cultural norms, empower survivors, and eliminate all forms of interpersonal violence on our campus and in our communities.
