The Chancellor’s Task Force on Sexual and Relationship Violence at ���ϲ����� has announced its new roster of members for the 2018-19 academic year. The group this year will be led by returning co-chair Diane Lyden Murphy, dean of the Falk College, and Robert Hradsky, senior associate vice president for the student experience. Hradsky succeeds Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz, associate dean of Hendricks Chapel, who had served as co-chair since the group’s inception in 2015.

Charged by Chancellor Syverud with identifying strategies to deter sexual violence and further enhance education and advocacy services, the task force works to advance key recommendations that had been put forward in the group’s original 2015 report to the Chancellor.

“The work we have done so far shows that we have many resources and people who are deeply invested in eliminating instances of sexual and relationship violence and providing needed support and services when they do occur,” says Murphy. “We will continue working this year to build on those assets and to pursue best practices that help to ensure a safe and respectful campus community for all.”

“Assuring the safety and well-being of our students is our most fundamental priority,” says Hradsky. “Students cannot thrive—academically, socially or emotionally—unless they feel safe in their campus environment, and I look forward to making even greater progress toward that goal in the months and year ahead.”

In addition to Murphy and Hradsky, the following faculty, staff and student representatives will serve on the task force for the 2018-19 academic year:

• Laurie Boucicaut, Panhellenic Council
