By moving our Midwest Summit from November to January, we're creating an opportunity to better serve our regional stakeholders with timely support, inspiring presenters, and best in class resources.

Each year, we renew our commitment to creating Safe and Sound Schools across the nation. This year, we invite you to join us at an event that embodies this dedication. Help us kick off the new year with Michigan State University’s Prevent 2 Protect Project during our Midwest School Safety Summit on January 16th and 17th at the Lansing Center in Lansing, MI!

The Midwest Summit is a collaborative effort developed around our shared imperative: 'Prevent to Protect.' It is further reinforced by the region's strong desire for continued support following recent critical incidents of violence on K-12 and higher education campuses. This event features national best practices, methods, and programs for a truly comprehensive approach to school safety. From preventing school violence to enhancing safety and security, and addressing mental and behavioral health needs in schools today, the Midwest School Safety Summit tackles the most relevant and critical topics in school safety.
