#ProtectTheNest
Sexual misconduct and gender based violence prevention and education cannot exist in a void. How we develop and construct our social lives — including our norms, beliefs, expectations, boundaries, and communication skills — all affect and intertwine with our culture’s understanding of sexual misconduct and gender based violence. In order to dismantle these scripts our approach must be multi-faceted.
“We are not immune from the culture we are trying to change.” – Dorothy Edwards, Alteristic
By understanding the culture, we aim to meet our campus community where they are. We offer an array of prevention programming to engage students, faculty and staff to examine their lives and increase their understanding of accountability and care for others.
