Montclair State University Receives 2006 Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Award
She also cited the University for "funding a full time coordinator of the Center of Non-Violence and Prevention Programs: Students Against Violence and forming the Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) which is modeled after New Jersey State standards and provides services to victims of sexual assaults." The Sexual Assault Response Team (SART), which was the first university based program of its kind in New Jersey and one of a handful on campuses in the nation, is a team comprised of trained sexual assault nurse examiners, University police officers and trained rape care advocates organized to assist the victims of sexual assault. The mobile guardian application was developed by Rave Wireless, a leading provider of GPS-based mobile phone applications, and perfected at Montclair State through a series of pilot programs. Students subscribe to Rave Guardian through Campus Connect, a package of applications that Rave Wireless customized specifically for the University and introduced to students in 2005. The "Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Award", established in 1994, is presented each year by Howard & Connie Clery to honor schools and individuals that have done extraordinary things to make college and university students safer. It is named in memory of the Clerys' daughter, Jeanne, who was murdered on campus in 1986. Recipients are selected each year by Howard and Connie Clery, and awarded by Security On Campus, Inc. |
