Presented by Vector Solutions, the designation recognizes Centenary’s exceptional commitment to digital student wellness and safety efforts.

HACKETTSTOWN, NJ, Nov. 4, 2025—Centenary University has received the 2025 Campus Prevention Network (CPN) Seal of Prevention. Presented by Vector Solutions, the CPN Seal of Prevention™ recognizes institutions of higher education that demonstrate leadership in the areas of student success, campus climate, and community well-being. This is the second consecutive year that Centenary has received this recognition. 

Each recipient of the CPN Seal of Prevention™ has taken action to create a safer campus through comprehensive, evidence-based digital prevention education on issues such as sexual assault, alcohol and drug misuse, mental health, and community building. The CPN Seal of Prevention™ establishes guidelines for discerning quality online prevention education and implementation practices and positions prevention as central to key institutional outcomes. 

“Centenary is deeply committed to the safety and well-being of our students, including across digital platforms,” said Senior Vice President for Student Affairs and Administration Kerry Mullins. “The CPN Seal of Prevention™ recognizes the leadership across all levels of the University’s administration to develop a safe, supportive learning environment for every Centenary student.” 

Research conducted by Vector Solutions indicates that institutions earning the CPN Seal of Prevention™ average an 8.3 percent higher first-year retention rate and a 9.6 percent higher on-time four-year graduate rate, compared to those that have not achieved the CPN Seal of Prevention™. 

“The CPN Seal of Prevention™ recognizes schools that are not only leading the way in student wellness and success, but also demonstrating sustained, measurable impact year after year,” said Rob Buelow, general manager of education at Vector Solutions, which evaluates institutions against rigorous, evidence-based prevention principles derived from over two decades of research and practice.
