U.S. Justice Department Renews Virginia Tech Grant to Raise Awareness About Violence Against Women

The U.S. Department of Justice has awarded Virginia Tech's Women's Center and the university's Office of Judicial Affairs a $300,000 grant, renewing an earlier Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) grant to raise awareness on campus about sexual assault, relationship violence, stalking and cyberstalking. The first VAWA grant for two years was received in 2001; the renewal will extend it to 2005.
