Groups and Programs

Osprey Advocacy

Osprey Advocates are trained students, staff and faculty who assist victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Begin your journey towards becoming a certified sexual assault/domestic violence advocate! In partnership with The (Atlantic County) Women's Center, we host advocate training annually.

Safe Zone Initiative

The Safe Zone initiative is geared towards LGBTQIA+ acceptance. The WGSC's goal is to create 'Safe Zones' on our campus where everyone who identifies as LGBTQIA+ can be themselves and questions surrounding acceptance and community will always be answered with respect and dignity.

When you see this symbol on a professor's door, or in an office suite, then you know you are in a safe place where acceptance is the norm.

Email us at SafeZone@stockton.edu for workshops and training opportunities you can bring to your club, class, and/or next event.

The Green Dot Strategy

Green Dot is a bystander intervention program. We have several training courses throughout the semester teaching students how to intervene safely to end violence and sexual assaults.

The WGSC has designed a wide range of programming to address women, gender and sexuality issues at Stockton University and in South Jersey. Most groups and events are free to the Stockton community and many are open to the public. We are always looking for great ideas for programming, service-learning projects and/or awareness events. If you have a program idea you think the WGSC should offer, please let us know. We may even help with funding!
