your green dot

3 Green Dots for the Price of One:

There are actually three layers of power in each green dot you do (that’s right – 3 green dots for the price of 1). (1) The actual green dot you did served to reduce the risk of violence in a specific moment and/or contribute to a broader culture that is less tolerant of violence and more supportive of victims. (2) By doing your green dot, you served as a direct role model to anyone who was around – contributing to a new set of norms at UK – “People at UK step up and do their part.” (3) By adding your green dot to our website you serve as a model and inspiration to those all over the campus and the country who couldn’t witness your green dot directly, but can take your lead, steal your idea and make an impact where they are.
