Violence Intervention, Prevention and Early Response
The Violence Intervention, Prevention and Early Response (VIPER) Program at Southwestern is a partner on East Central University’s Regional University System of Oklahoma (RUSO) Violence Prevention Project. It is made possible by a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women and is designed to minimize the incidence of violent relational crime such as sexual assault, intimate partner violence/abuse, and stalking on SWOSU’s campus.
