Osprey Advocacy

Osprey Advocates are trained students, staff and faculty who assist victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Begin your journey towards becoming a certified sexual assault/domestic violence advocate! In partnership with The (Atlantic County) Women's Center, we host advocate training annually.

Safe Zone Initiative

The Safe Zone initiative is geared towards LGBTQIA+ acceptance. The WGSC's goal is to create 'Safe Zones' on our campus where everyone who identifies as LGBTQIA+ can be themselves and questions surrounding acceptance and community will always be answered with respect and dignity.

When you see this symbol on a professor's door, or in an office suite, then you know you are in a safe place where acceptance is the norm.

Email us at SafeZone@stockton.edu for workshops and training opportunities you can bring to your club, class, and/or next event.

The Green Dot Strategy

Green Dot is a bystander intervention program. We have several training courses throughout the semester teaching students how to intervene safely to end violence and sexual assaults.

Developed by the American Association of University Women, the Start Smart salary negotiation workshop educates about the gender gap in pay while equipping college students to face the job market with the confidence, knowledge, and skills they need to negotiate better salaries and benefits.
