Green Dot :: The College of New Jersey

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.

So, what's with the Green Dot?

One in five TCNJ women and one in ten TCNJ men were victims of sexual assault, partner violence, or stalking this year. Each incident hurts us all. These acts of violence are like red dots covering a map, much like an epidemic spreading out of control if not stopped. But, we CAN stop violence and you are a part of the solution. Through your words, choices and your actions in any given moment, you can add a “green dot” to our map — displacing a red dot — and making a difference.

A “Green Dot” symbolizes a single moment in time that can be used to end perpetration or support victims of violence. Adding a green dot will increase community safety for everyone.

If each of us adds 1 or 2 or 5 or 100 green dots — we will end the perpetration of violence — one green dot at a time.
