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.
