Drake has been named a recipient of the Campus Prevention Network (CPN) Seal of Prevention. Presented by EVERFI and Parchment, the CPN Seal of Prevention is awarded to institutions of higher education that have demonstrated a commitment to digital prevention programs tied to student safety, well-being, and inclusion. 

Each recipient of the CPN Seal of Prevention has taken action to create a safer, more inclusive campus through comprehensive, evidence-based digital prevention education on issues such as sexual assault, alcohol misuse, mental health, and discrimination.

“It is extremely exciting for Drake to be recognized for our continued commitment to prevention,” said Lynne Cornelius, Drake University violence prevention coordinator. “Drake has made it a priority to have all incoming students participate in a series of online trainings aimed at creating a safe and inclusive campus community. These trainings are foundational to building a shared understanding of the values we embrace at Drake and our community expectations.”

The criteria for the CPN Seal of Prevention is based on the Principles of Effective Prevention Programs published by Nation, et al. (2003). View a full list of the 2020 recipients of the CPN Seal of Prevention and more information on the awards.
