Green Dot Presentation
This presentation can run between 30 and 50 minutes, and is designed to engage students, faculty, and staff in working to establish a safer campus environment for all members of the TCNJ community. It provides a brief overview of services available through the Office of Anti-Violence Initiatives (OAVI), relevant statistics and facts, and illustrates the feasibility of reducing incidents of power-based personal violence.
If you are interested in scheduling a Green Dot presentation, please contact Jackie Deitch-Stackhouse at 609-771-2272 or deitch@tcnj.edu.
Violence Intervention & Prevention (VIP) Training
THE GOAL …
To create a critical mass of individuals willing and able to do their small part to end violence at TCNJ.
THE HEART …
VIP training is a community level approach to violence prevention that harnesses the power of peer influence to create culture change. VIP training targets all community members as potential bystanders, and seeks to engage them through awareness, education, and skills-practice in proactive behaviors that establish intolerance of violence as the norm. Additionally, VIP training prepares participants to intervene in situations that are high-risk for power-based personal violence - resulting in the ultimate reduction of violence. Dr. Dorothy Edwards, creator of the Green Dot at the University of Kentucky, trained OAVI Staff in the spring of 2009 in anticipation of the TCNJ launch at the onset of the 2009-2010 academic year.
THE BRAINS …
Ending violence is too urgent to just "make it up as we go along" or "do what we've always done." In order to maximize the likelihood of success, VIP training is based on bodies of research that inform every aspect of our prevention model. Check out the "Green Dot Research" page for detailed information.
Toolkits
Use these Toolkits to integrate green dots into your daily activities based on your professional role, areas of interest, and/or group affiliations at TCNJ. Each Toolkit is designed to help your think creatively about making green dots and spreading the message that ending violence matters to you.

"Host a Green Dot" Program
In conjunction with the Director of Planning and Campus Architecture, the TCNJ Carpentry and Paint Shops, and the Art Student Association, we have created life-sized green dots. Standing a full 4 1/2 feet tall and encased in a stealth black frame that can be easily transported across campus, these dots are designed to promote awareness about the Green Dot violence prevention initiative.
Consider hosting a green dot with your student organization, athletic team, academic department, or office. The green dots can be used to show your support for the Green Dot initiative, convey to others that addressing violence matters to you, or assist in the promotion of your awareness raising program. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at oavi@tcnj.edu or 609-771-2272.
