UMF names director of university’s Campus Safety Grant
Alex Warner has been named the director of the University of Maine at Farmington’s three-year Campus Safety Grant.
In the fall of 2020, UMF was awarded almost $300,000 by the U.S. Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women. The money is intended to strengthen the university’s efforts to talk about and respond to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking on campus.
Warner says she’d like to establish close connections with campus members, local agencies and community partners, including the Farmington Police Department and the District Attorney’s office.
Warner has taught at a number of schools, including San Francisco State University and the University of Iowa. She received her doctorate in American History with a focus on Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies from Rutgers University in 2011.
