Make your first year of college really count! Help create a culture of non-violence.
Transform culture and build community.
Students for Violence Prevention is a themed learning community for incoming first-year students who want to create a culture of non-violence. It is for students who want to be part of a small community of other first-year students who take classes together, explore shared interests, and participate in special projects and activities.
Students for Violence Prevention stresses the importance of community, consent, respect, and supporting one another. It is a community to support you as you develop. Anchored by the national award-winning student bystander intervention program called CheckIT, it offers you the chance to develop skills in violence prevention and take courses from professors with expertise in non-violence and social justice.
Students in the learning community are supported by a group of dedicated staff and faculty. They will help you to make the most of your first-year experience, feel at home at Cal Poly Humboldt, find meaningful ways to connect, and create an amazing college experience.
Program highlights:
Support Network From Day One. You will work closely with other students, a team of professors, peer educators, and staff.
Instant connections. As part of this program, you will be part of a community of first-year students who share the same interests. You will get support from your peers, CheckIT advocates, faculty, and staff within the learning community.
