Elon University was awarded the 2024 CPN Seal of Prevention™ for its commitment to student safety, well-being and inclusion.
Elon University has been recognized for its dedication to student safety, well-being and inclusion by receiving the 2024 CPN Seal of Prevention™ from the Campus Prevention Network.
The CPN Seal of Prevention™ is awarded to institutions and organizations of higher education dedicated to student safety, well-being and inclusion through their commitment to implement evidence-based digital prevention programs. Each recipient of the CPN Seal of Prevention™ has taken action to create a safer, more inclusive campus through comprehensive, evidence-based digital prevention education on issues such as sexual assault, alcohol misuse, mental health and discrimination. The CPN Seal of Prevention™ establishes guidelines for discerning quality online prevention education and implementation practices and positions prevention as central to key institutional outcomes.
Elon received this recognition for its efforts to establish comprehensive prevention initiatives, including AlcoholEdu and sexual assault prevention programs for undergraduates.
“Over 90% of our incoming first-year students completed the online prevention programs this fall, with over 95% completing at least one of the three programs. This is one of the highest completion rates in the nation,” said Whitney Gregory, assistant dean of students.
This achievement places the university among the national leaders in prevention education and underscores the university’s commitment to fostering a safe, inclusive and informed campus community. Elon is one of seven universities recognized in North Carolina. Honorees were recognized at the NASPA Strategies Conference in January 2025.
