Campaign. Co-led the development, design and administration of the nationally recognized
bystander social marketing campaign to reduce sexual violence on college campuses. Developed
all of the campaign research and evaluation strategies, designed the surveys, analyzed and
described the data, and the findings. The campaign has received funding from a variety of
agencies including the Department of Justice, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
Department of Defense, University of California, Merced and the UNH Parent Association. The
campaign was developed at the University of New Hampshire and has currently been adopted by
50 colleges and universities around the United States. The social marketing campaign has been
customized for University of Massachusetts at Lowell, and adapted and piloted for a US Army
Post in Europe. The campaign has been adapted and customized for the University of California,
Merced. In addition three images addressing relationship violence in the LGBTQ Community
were designed with the help of members and allies of the LGBTQ community. The campaign
currently has 22 images that have been used on 11x17 posters, table tents, bookmarks, postcards,
King Kong bus wraps computer pop-up screens, and a website. The campaign logo is currently
being used on a number of collateral products including water bottles, gym bags, Frisbees,
highlighter pens, buttons and flashlights.
