SVPN was supported by a grant from Villanova University’s Waterhouse Family Institute for the Study of Communication and Society (WFI). Villanova University’s Waterhouse Family Institute for the Study of Communication and Society (WFI) was founded on the principle that the study and practice of communication requires attention to values, ethics, and social justice, and that properly understood, communication is central to the creation of positive social change. WFI explores the ethical dimensions of communication and its role in creating social change through cutting-edge research and student programs, as well as the hands-on involvement of communication scholars and professionals from around the globe.

SVPN was supported by a grant from Towson University 2022 FDRC grant.
