A green dot is any behavior‚ choice‚ word‚ or attitude that promotes safety for all of us and communicates zero tolerance for violence. A green dot is your individual commitment to counteracting red dots, those moments when words, choices, or actions lead to power-based personal violence, a form of violence which has as the primary motivator the assertion of power, control, or intimidation in order to harm another. This includes partner violence, sexual assault, stalking, and other uses of force, threat, intimidation or harassment of an individual. If you do your small part, and others do their small part, we can all make a difference in preventing power-based personal violence at UALR and in the community.

The Gerontology Program is housed in UALR's School of Social Work and focuses not only on the knowledge, values, and skills needed to work with aging individuals and their families, but also with the greater social issues that impact older adults. The Gerontology Program is multi-disciplinary and is designed to serve professionals in a range of occupations, including social workers, nurses, rehabilitation counselors, audiologists, physical and occupational therapists, administrators, health care workers, health educators, attorneys, as well as professionals from the business sector. Many courses are offered online or as hybrids with some face-to-face meeting. The Gerontology Program offers a Graduate Certificate (18 credit hours) as well as elective courses in Gerontology. The Certificate is designed to provide professionals with knowledge of the biological, sociological, and psychological aspects of the aging process as well as an understanding of the social policies and services that respond to the needs of the older adult. The Gerontology Program interfaces with other graduate programs, allowing students to develop interdisciplinary skills to enhance careers in Gerontology. The curriculum includes classroom learning through face-to-face, hybrid and fully online course offerings as well as hands-on experiences that meet the personal needs of both public and private agencies.

The IOG Survey Research Center specializes in telephone interviewing, mail surveys, data entry, coding, web surveys, and interviewer training. The topics covered in the surveys are often sensitive in nature and the extensive quality of employee training promotes confidentiality and comfort among the respondents. This in turn allows for the implementation of a successful survey. The SRC employs around thirty highly trained, part-time telephone interviewers to utilize a Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) system for the 20-station call center. This CATI system allows the interviewer to enter the respondents answers directly into the computer and track call attempts, make specific appointments, and notes about each particular call. The surveys at the SRC are always pre-tested. Specific programming and algorithms not only make certain that we survey the target population but it assures data quality and drastically reduces error. Mail surveys also follow a specific protocol and there are often multiple mailings, postage-paid return envelopes, and follow-up postcards to increase response rates.
