What We Do

The SVPP Student Advisory Board (SAB) is a core group of undergraduate students who provide guidance, ideas, feedback, and insights to the professional team on all aspects of  Dartmouth's Sexual Violence Prevention Project.
The SAB uses a human-centered design process and plays a vital role in bringing student voices and experiences to aid in the development, design, implementation, and evaluation of the SVPP.

SAB Responsibilities:

  • Contribute our own insights and experiences
  • Represent our peer groups' voices
  • Participate in focus groups and pilots
  • Interview peers to bring their insights and experiences back to the group
  • Use Human-Centered Design and Design Thinking methodology to develop and test prototypes to help guide implementation
  • Disseminate information about SVPP to our peers
