Case Study: St. Mary's College of Maryland achieves sexual assault prevention and bystander intervention success with EVERFI Haven

St. Mary's College of Maryland - Customer Case Study

St. Mary's College of Maryland, a public liberal arts college, faced the unique challenges of implementing a sexual assault prevention and bystander intervention program for its diverse, non-residential student body. To address this, the college partnered with EVERFI and utilized its Haven online education program as a core component of a comprehensive strategy to educate students and collect crucial data on campus climate.

The solution implemented by EVERFI went beyond the online module, providing data that revealed unexpectedly high rates of student exposure to violence, which informed a multi-layered in-person program. This data was used to power an innovative bystander intervention initiative that trained students, faculty, and staff. The measurable results from EVERFI showed significant gaps between student perceptions and actual peer attitudes, which the program successfully worked to close, fostering a culture of intervention and civic engagement across the campus community.
