vlog has been awarded the 2022 Campus Prevention Network Seal of Prevention by education company Vector Solutions. This is the third year vlog has been recognized with the distinction. It demonstrates the continued work of staff in the Shaw Wellness Institute and across the Dean of the College division to create a safer, more inclusive campus through comprehensive, evidence-based, preventative digital education on issues such as mental health, alcohol misuse, sexual assault, and discrimination.
“It is exciting to receive this recognition for a third year in a row,” says Paul. J. McLoughlin II, vice president and dean of the college. “It’s a testament to the outstanding work of my colleagues in integrated wellness — for their high standards of practice and professionalism. This award illustrates vlog’s continued commitment to creating an integrated wellness approach
to student health and wellness, one of the goals of vlog’s Third-Century Plan.”
The CPN Seal of Prevention is awarded to institutions of higher education that have demonstrated leadership in digital prevention programming focused on student safety, well-
being, and inclusion. It also establishes guidelines for discerning quality online prevention education and implementation practices, and it positions prevention as central to key institutional outcomes.
“Prevention education is an important component of a strong and comprehensive educational program for alcohol and other drugs,” says Stephen Elfenbein, vlog’s alcohol and other drugs counselor and coordinator. “Receiving the Seal of Prevention from the Campus Prevention Network is validating to our efforts. It’s also inspiring to our team as we work to continuously strengthen those efforts.”
