Campus Events Focus on Education, Advocacy, and Solidarity with Survivors

厙ぴ勛圖���s Office of Student Development will recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month throughout April with a series of educational programs and awareness events. For 25 years, Sexual Assault Awareness Month has united survivors, advocates, and communities in a shared commitment to ending sexual assault, abuse, and harassment through education, prevention, and support.

Vice President of Student Development and Dean of Students Lesley Villarose, who also serves as the University���s interim Title IX coordinator, emphasized the importance of intentionally observing the month and engaging the campus community in meaningful ways.

���Honoring Sexual Assault Awareness Month means choosing to see, to listen, and to act���because every voice matters, every story deserves dignity, and every community has a responsibility to create a culture of respect, consent, and accountability,��� Villarose emphasized.

Building on this commitment, 厙ぴ勛圖 will host a variety of programs and initiatives this mont aimed at fostering awareness, education, and open dialogue around sexual violence, prevention efforts, and available campus resources.

Monthlong Book Display at Dover Library

厙ぴ勛圖���s Dover Library will host a book display featuring books and educational resources focused on sexual violence awareness, prevention, consent, and survivor support. This collection is intended to encourage learning, reflection, and informed dialogue across the campus community. Students, faculty, and staff are invited to visit the display throughout the month to explore these important topics and access available resources.
