The Advocacy Alliance is a university-wide effort to end violence on our campus.

Overview

The Advocacy Alliance is an interdisciplinary, interdepartmental committee, which seeks to prevent and intervene with regard to interpersonal violence on The University of Tulsa’s campus. This committee has been in place since the 1980s.
