About the Department
The Violence Prevention & Threat Management Program is responsible for educating the campus community on how to recognize and refer concerning behaviors involving students, employees, or non‑affiliates.

Key Responsibilities
As the Case Manager, you will lead and support behavioral threat assessments using structured professional judgment—conducting intake, gathering and analyzing information, assessing risk, and documenting cases. You will coordinate case reviews, develop and implement individualized management strategies, and work with stakeholders to monitor and reduce risk.
