We are proud of the effect our prevention programs continue to have and look forward to the changes this year will bring, such as more in-depth curriculum about consent and sexual assault.
Another exciting aspect is our new Prevention team! We are proud to introduce Shalini Murpuri as our Prevention Manager and Jose Corea as our Prevention Educator.
Shalini attended the University of Florida where she earned her Master’s in Education, Marriage & Family Therapy. She has valuable experience in sexual violence prevention; creating and implementing interpersonal violence prevention education for the Sexual Trauma Interpersonal Violence Education program during her time at UF. She also served as a Graduate Assistant for Multicultural & Diversity Affairs where she provided culturally-responsive and identity-based education to promote student success for underserved student populations.
Jose holds a Master’s degree in English Literature from California State University. Upon graduating, he gained 5 years of higher education teaching experience, during which he successfully created and implemented curricula for courses of varying difficulty. He independently incorporated relevant cultural issues, including feminist topics such as the evolution of gender roles, consent, and how different cultures deal with sexual assault and harassment, while also making sure his classes met learning outcomes.
With the benefit of years of experience in the classroom, rigorous evaluation of our programs and the valuable input of students from the 2017-2018 academic year, CAASE will continue to make a positive impact during this semester and beyond.
