Ohio College Campus Advocates and Preventionists

OCCAP is a community of practice for advocates and preventionists working on college and university campuses across the state of Ohio. Meetings are facilitated by staff at the Ohio Domestic Violence Network and Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence.

A community of practice is made up of a group of people who share a set of common problems, goals, and values who come together to develop solutions.

Open to college/university-employed staff, nonprofit-employed staff, and volunteers who work directly with survivors and/or violence prevention programming on college/university campuses. Management staff and Title IX directors should not attend in most circumstances.

Although it’s preferred for attendees to be direct service staff or volunteers from campuses or community organizations, we understand that this isn’t always an option for smaller campuses and organizations. If you have any questions about attending, please contact one of the OCCAP facilitators, Elle Fullenkamp (efullenkamp@oaesv.org) or Glenn A Harris (mailt).

Meetings are held quarterly on the third Tuesday from 10 AM to 11:30 AM.

Meetings are divided into two sections: The first hour is focused on training and education on topics that are important to the group. The last 30 minutes are dedicated to conversation and networking with fellow campus advocates and preventionists to share common experiences, overcome challenges, and collaborate to improve services across Ohio.

You can register by contacting either of the facilitators, Elle Fullenkamp (efullenkamp@oaesv.org) or Glenn A Harris (glennh@odvn.org). They will share the registration link. Registration is required to attend meetings.
