Join us for our May Waypoint Talk session, where Rebecca Rappeport (Queen's University, Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Service (SVPRS) will unveil transformative strategies to address sexual violence and intimate partner violence (IPV), reframing these urgent issues as wicked problems that require bold, systemic solutions. Through design thinking and deep collaboration with faculty, she has pioneered the intentional integration of prevention education into traditionally male-dominated fields like STEM—reshaping how sexual violence prevention is embedded in higher education. This session will showcase how moving beyond traditional bystander intervention fosters lasting cultural and institutional change. Backed by compelling survey data, Rebecca will highlight the tangible impact of this approach, revealing increased engagement, shifting attitudes, and empowered student action.
