Sexual Violence Prevention Month – April

submitted by garvey@augsburg.edu

April is Sexual Violence Prevention Month.

Learn the facts: Sexual violence happens in every community. Sexual violence is any type of unwanted sexual contact – including sexual assault and rape. Learn more at the National Sexual Violence Resource Center. https://www.nsvrc.org/

Augsburg has an agreement with the Aurora Center (U of Minnesota), so students can contact them for assistance. They have a 24-Hour Helpline: (612) 626-9111. Students can also get assistance through the Center for Wellness and Counseling (CWC), 612-330-1707, and the Department of Public Safety, 612-330-1717.

Thanks to Augsburg’s Sexual Misconduct Awareness Raising Team (SMART) for their advocacy, peer education, and events to eliminate sexual violence. To support their effort we’ll have announcements in Amail for the rest of April.
