Know More Student Advisory Board

Provides a student prospective and voice to power based personal violence prevention, response, and policy initiatives on campus. Power based personal violence is defined as sexual violence, relationship violence, and stalking. The goal of this board is not only to create programs and events, but also develop long term goals for how we as a community can end violence on our campus. The group meets biweekly and provides opportunities for members to progress their own understanding of power based personal violence, and share this knowledge with the FSU community. This group will collaborate with faculty and staff to make a sustainable change at FSU.
