Interpersonal Violence Resources and Prevention

The Interpersonal Violence Awareness Team (IVAT), previously known as the Sexual Violence Prevention Team, is a multi-disciplinary team representing Student Affairs, Academic Affairs, and community partners.  Through outreach efforts, the team works to educate EIU’s campus on interpersonal violence and share related resources. On our website, you will find links to outreach programming, reporting options, campus policies & procedures, and much more.
