SUMMARY
This article presents a process case study for developing a university-wide response to sexual assault and relationship violence. Following Kelly's (Citation1988) approach to prevention work in community-settings, we began our work with in-depth ecological reconnaissance to understand our local context. Our case study described the processes used to develop an inclusive task force, conduct an environmental scan, and carry out a quantitative-qualitative needs assessment. Our processes for developing an institutional response for both direct services interventions and prevention are discussed in the context of Kelly's (Citation1966, 1968, 2006) ecological principles of interdependence and cycling of resources.
