Monaca, PA – The Community College of Beaver County (CCBC) has been named a recipient of the 2023  Campus Prevention Network (CPN) Seal of Prevention. Presented by Vector Solutions, the CPN Seal of  Prevention is awarded to institutions of higher education that have demonstrated leadership in digital  prevention programming focused on student safety, well-being, and inclusion. 

“Each year, CCBC requires all faculty, staff, and administrators to complete prevention courses offered  by Vector Solutions,” said Sally Mercer, vice president of human resources. “Employees are assigned  Title IX, Sexual Harassment, HIPPA, and FERPA training to ensure they understand the concepts and can  act appropriately.” 

Students are also required to complete Title IX training to recognize, report, and react to potential  situations. This program empowers students by providing knowledge and resources to help them if they  find themselves in a difficult position. 

“The prevention programming we do with Vector Solutions benefits the campus as a whole,” said  Brittney Golden, dean of students. “They keep our faculty, staff, and administrators up to date on the  ever-changing dynamics of education and help us create a campus environment that is warm,  welcoming, and inclusive.” 

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. The CPN Seal of Prevention establishes guidelines for  discerning quality online prevention education and implementation practices and positions prevention  as central to institutional outcomes.
