At Felician University, we are deeply committed to fostering a safe and supportive environment for all members of our community. As part of our ongoing efforts, we proudly support the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which raises awareness about violence prevention and ensures that our campus community feels safe and supported. Through education, resources, and collaboration, we strive to create a campus culture that promotes respect, safety, and justice, while emphasizing the vital importance of addressing and preventing violence.
If you or a loved one experienced sexual violence, dating violence, domestic violence, and/or stalking, there are resources available to support you.
