Sexual Assault, Freedom through Education Committee is holding its first ever Sexual Assault Awareness Day on Wednesday, September 18. The awareness day is intended to educate students about the issues surrounding sexual assault. A campus-wide committee, comprised of students and administrators, has organized the awareness day to help fulfill its objective or raising awareness of sexual assault. President Ivany states It is the responsibility of each one of us to ensure the creation and maintenance of a safe and wholesome environment for all corners to our campus.
Education is an important first step towards prevention.
Most of the awareness activities, including Rape Aggression Defense demonstrations and live student theatre, are scheduled over the noon hour on the U of S campus. Initially, the committee discussed the possibility of creating a University policy regarding sexual assault, but it soon started to focus on educational activities.
