Sexual and relationship violence is far too prevalent and has long-lasting impacts on those who have experienced it directly and indirectly. Barnard strives to change and dismantle the culture of violence in the world. By strengthening and uplifting our community of students, faculty, staff, administrators, and alumni through educational workshops, bystander intervention, and connection resources.

The Clery intern supports campus power and gender-based violence awareness and prevention efforts. Efforts lead to dismantling a culture of violence in the world through educational workshops, bystander intervention, and promoting consent. Also involved in these efforts is raising awareness of campus and community resources, such as Being Barnard, Barnard's violence prevention program, and Columbia Health Sexual Violence Response. 

In memory of their daughter, Jeanne Clery, alumna Constance Clery (BC’53) and her husband Howard K. Clery designed The Jeanne Clery Internship to support these efforts. The Jeanne Clery Internship is designed to support Barnard students who would like to participate in meaningful gender-based violence prevention work experiences and may not otherwise be able to do so without funding.

As a result of Mrs. Clery's generosity and commitment to violence prevention, we are honored to be able to support and empower students to make changes within the campus community and beyond.

Swiping Safely: Don't Get Swindled

 

Spring 2021-Spring 2022 Clery Intern, Mary Bence presents an interactive discussion on online dating safety. A recent survey shows that 91% of college students are using dating apps. As Netflix shows such as The Tinder Swindler and Bad Vegan gain popularity, digital protection becomes just as important as in-person protection. Drop by the table in Diana to identify the red flags and green flags for your own dating profile and others. On your way out, drop by the Stuf'd food truck for some FREE sliders. 

15th Annual Jeanne Clery Lecture Series: Navigating Relationships & Sex During COVID

 

This much-needed conversation will feature sex educators, Francisco Ramirez and Bianca Laureano, in discussion around how to best navigate relationships and sex during this significant moment in our collective history. 

Together, we will explore communication strategies for strengthening our relationships, what consent looks like – both in person and from a distance, ways to promote respect, and how to take care of our mental health during this challenging time.

The Jeanne Clery Lecture Series was established by Constance Clery BC ’53 and Howard Clery, Jr. in memory of their daughter, Jeanne Clery. 

14th Annual Jeanne Clery Lecture Series - Body Sovereignty and Kids: How We Can Cultivate a Culture of Consent

 

Given the rates and gendered nature of interpersonal violence, we must start talking about consent as early as possibly if we hope to shift the trajectory of young adults before they reach campus.

Join speaker Monica Rivera, Sexual Violence Response, and Barnard College for the 14th Annual Jeanne Clery Lecture as we discuss education and cultivating a culture of consent.
