Students, community invited to ‘Dismantling the Rape Culture’ education forum

Nationally, those experiencing sexual violence include:

  • 11.2% of all students
  • 8.8% of female and 2.2% of male graduate or professional students
  • 23.1% of female and 5.4% of male undergraduate students
  • 4.2% of students have experienced stalking since entering college.

To initiate a conversation and education on sexual violence on campus, WeARE, in partnership with CLC, is sponsoring an education forum on ‘Dismantling the Rape Culture’ on Wednesday, April 25th from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. at the CLC Lecture Hall E-354.  We are pleased to bring an expert on this important topic, Professor Kari-Shane Davis Zimmerman (see bio below) to lead this education event.

The lecture will be followed by a panel discussion including local, influential community leaders.
