The Ithaca College Sexual Violence Prevention Committee hosted its kickoff event April 9 to begin a monthlong series of events for Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
“We have become accustomed to live comfortably and to turn our heads away from these horrific events, and that’s privilege at its finest.”
Jen Huemmer, an assistant professor in the Department of Strategic Communication, discussed sexual assault on college campuses March 20.
With sexual assault awareness month’s coming to a close, students and administrators at Ithaca College are saying the college can improve its sexual assault education by making the college’s resources more accessible and driving a more effective conversation on campus.
It was problematic that very few community leaders were present at Take Back the Night.
On an unseasonably cold April night, more than 50 Ithaca College students participated in a march from the college into downtown Ithaca to take part in Ithaca Take Back the Night 2015.
In order to truly create a change, we need our whole society to take action, not just one group.
