Abstract
The “It’s On Us” campaign was launched in 2014 by the White House in an effort to prevent sexual assault on college campuses by asking students to change their own attitudes and practice bystander intervention.
Bystander Intervention refers to noticing when a sexual assault is about to occur and stepping in to stop it.
Please join us the week of October 24-26 for the following events:
Tuesday, Oct 24: Commit to Consent Rally at the RU Rotunda from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Your understanding of consent may be different from your neighbor’s. This event is focused on educating you and your fellow students on the actual definition of consent.
Wednesday, Oct 25: Guest Speaker, Don McPherson in the RU Ballroom at 7 p.m.
McPherson is a former NFL player and College Football Hall of Famer. He describes himself as an activist, educator and feminist who uses the power and appeal of sport to address complex social justice issues.
Thursday, Oct 26: Day for Survivors @ the RU Rotunda from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
This program is focused on advocating for sexual assault survivors, marketing sexual assault prevention resources as well as providing a space for survivors to reclaim and tell their stories.
