Congratulations to Dr. Candice Williams and Dr. LaShan Epperson on receiving the 2026 Faculty Research Council (FRC) Grant in the amount of $10,000!

Their project, “Stewardship of Safety: Integrating Organizational Behavior and Christian Values in Campus Violence Prevention,” explores how principles of organizational behavior and faith-informed leadership can strengthen violence prevention efforts. The research will also extend into business and organizational leadership contexts, with a particular focus on addressing intimate partner violence (IPV) in workplace settings.

This work reflects a meaningful commitment to advancing both scholarship and practical solutions that promote safer, more supportive communities!
