Women's Center Awarded State Grant for Continued Support of It's On Us PA
KUTZTOWN, Pa. – Kutztown University was awarded a $40,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Education for the It’s On Us PA program in 2025. 44 institutions of higher education and postsecondary schools received grants this year, including Kutztown University, totaling more than $1.6 million. These grants are used to help combat sexual assault on campus.
Kutztown University’s Women’s Center champions the It’s On Us campaign for the campus community. It annually brings nationally renowned speakers to campus, conducts surveys and provides training for students and employees.
The national It's On Us campaign was created by the Obama Administration to raise awareness about sexual assault, teach participants that assault includes non-consensual sex, advise them on how to identify dangerous situations, empower them to intervene and urge them to create an environment of support for victims and survivors.
It’s On Us PA is a statewide campaign that invites education leaders and all Pennsylvanians to be part of the solution to protect students from sexual violence.
