APRIL

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month!

During the month of April, in partnership with the Title IX office and other campus and community partners, we highlight the many resources and services to support students who want to get more involved in sexual violence prevention efforts on campus, who want to create a community that respects and supports survivors, and how to safely and compassionately support someone who has experienced sexual violence. Join us at one of the many activities that we have planned this month!
