Participants may read poetry about rape or talk about a personal experience. Participants and audience members then proceed outside where they form a circle on Hayes Field and hold a silent candlelight vigil. The Night last Fall had the largest attendance ever - over 300 people. Every Spring semester, Program Development organizes events to bring National Violence Against Women Awareness Day to the UB community. These events, specific to UB, raise awareness of violence against women on a local level in conjunction with national efforts.
Applicants answer a few questions about sexual violence prevention.
The ten best answers will be selected and the winners will be featured on a poster containing their pictures and excerpts from their responses. This is one example of how Program Development is breaking new ground in finding even more ways to educate the campus community on the subject of rape.
