What is the Relationship and Sexual Violence Prevention (RSVP) Center?
The Relationship and Sexual Violence Prevention (RSVP) Center (formerly the Rape Education Office) is a comprehensive relationship and sexual violence education and resource service, which is an auxiliary of MSA/GPC in collaboration with the MU Women’s Center. This resource center is driven by the work of four dedicated student organizations: the RSVP Peer Educators, the Greek Advocates, STARS (Stronger Together Against Relationship and Sexual Violence), and MARS (Men Against Relationship & Sexual Violence).
