Historically, SPCSA published an annual list of recommendations on policies and initiatives for College leaders to consider. They were presented at our Symposium each Spring. SPCSA has recently transitioned into a project-based model, where we identify issues that can be addressed by our group through advocacy, programs, resources, etc. We work closely with staff who do sexual violence prevention and response work full-time to ensure that we take on appropriate projects that are integrated into a larger landscape of progress.
