Understanding Sexual Violence: Creating a

Community that Values Safety and Respect

September 14, 2011 – 6:00 p.m., 327 Pryzbyla Center

Sadly, nonconsensual sexual contact occurs all too frequently during the college years. One out of four women is sexually assaulted by age 21 and four out of five women know their attackers. Sexual violence affects both men and women and can be prevented. Learn what sexual violence is and the measures you can take to reduce the risk of sexual violence on both a personal and community level. This program will also address what to do if you or someone you know is sexually assaulted. Sponsored by the Counseling Center and Student Conduct and Ethical Development.

September 28, 2011 - 6:30 p.m., Flather Hall

Many of us are aware of the power of the Internet and social media, enabling us to connect with different people, culture, and knowledge. But we must also be aware of the potential pitfalls that may negatively impact someone’s standing or image. Join us for a lively discussion as we examine a few of the popular Internet outlets (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and identify the ways these portals can potentially harm others.
