Annual Events

The Office of Gender Violence Prevention and Health Education (GVPHE) puts on several campus-wide annual events that seek to raise awareness around gender violence, provide access to resources around healthy decision-making, and support our campus community.

Look out for events like these on our campus calendar:

RISE: Untold Stories of ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ Women
"RISE: Untold Stories of ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ Women" is a play composed entirely of ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ women's stories and performed entirely by ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ women. The annual production is put on by fEMPOWER, a student organization that provides a platform for the diverse world of women to share their feelings and experiences and hopes to empower campus around these issues.

Take Back the Night
All are welcome to join GVPHE in taking a stand against sexual violence, hearing from student speakers, and participating in a campus walk designed to bring together the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ and Brunswick communities to stand against sexual violence and show our support for survivors everywhere. This event is part of an international movement that began in the 1970s with the mission of ending sexual, relationship, and domestic violence in all forms.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month
During the month of April, GVPHE raises awareness and works to prevent sexual violence on our campus to support the work GVPHE does all year long. You can find information about these events in Campus Groups under the Sexual Assault Awareness Month event tag:

• Denim Day resource fair, which aims to support survivors and spread awareness and education around sexual violence and challenge rape culture by sharing on-campus and off-campus resources, giveaways, and opportunities to learn more and receive support. This fair is part of the national effort started in 1992 to wear jeans with a purpose, support survivors, and educate ourselves and others about all forms of sexual violence.
• The Clothesline Project, a visual art installation of T-shirts created from community members whose friends, family, or themselves have been impacted by sexual violence. This project is part of a national effort developed in the 1990 that aims to educate people on the prevalence of gender violence and serves as a visual reminder of violence's existence in all our community.
