2020 - The Anti-Violence Alliance led by Joy Pulsifer
The Anti-violence Alliance (formerly Anti-Violence Coalition) is a multidisciplinary
team of faculty, staff, and students, that are committed to adapting, expanding, and
developing new approaches to sexual violence prevention efforts at Ferris State University.
The Alliance is committed to building a healthier, stronger, and safer community by
delivering powerful, effective, research-informed, and on-going awareness, education,
and prevention opportunities across campus focused on changing the culture and preventing
sexual violence. This team is an incredible group of thirty-five staff, faculty, and
students who have given their time to work together to learn more about and get engaged
with the work to reduce violence on our campus. |
2019 - Crimson and Gold Team, Led by Kristen Salomonson
The goal of this team was to increase yield for students admitted to Ferris State
University. According to a 2017 survey of prospective students, 40% indicated that
a meeting with a current student was important to their decision to enroll. Since
this opportunity was missing at Ferris, a new program was needed to build and foster
relationships between current and prospective students before they arrive on campus
and ultimately enroll at Ferris.

Goosen, Kristi Haik, Arrick Jackson, Arielle Miller, David Nicol, Brandie Sigler,
Nick Smith and Sherry Standen.
