AWARENESS EVENTS

Throughout the academic year, we will host a number of awareness events on both the Westside and Midtown campuses. Awareness events are intended to spark conversation, educate the campus community, and inspire participation in activities relating to supporting survivors and ultimately ending interpersonal violence.

Examples of events we’ve hosted are: the Silent Witness Initiative, Clothesline Project, Love is Sweet, Red Flag Campaign, Survivor Art Gallery, Denim Day, and more. We also are happy to collaborate with clubs/organizations on campus; for example, we collaborate with Delta Gamma Phi each year on Take Back the Night. If you’d like to collaborate on an event, contact our Campus Advocate.

TITLE IX TRAININGS

Public Act 14-11: An Act Concerning Sexual Assault, Stalking, & Intimate Partner Violence on Campus discusses how training on all facets of interpersonal violence is a federal mandate for all university faculty and staff. The Women’s Center works closely with the Title IX Coordinator to help facilitate these trainings on campus throughout the year.
