2023 ANNUAL SECURITY REPORT 55 Throughout the year, CAs create bulletin boards with information about consent, resources, warning signs of sexual assault, definitions of sexual violence and sexual violence myth busters. They work collaboratively with campus constituents such as the Health Promotions Coordinator and the Women’s Center to provide quality programs in the residence halls. In addition, they also produce another “all hall” program on Alcohol Awareness which includes education on topics related to sexual assault such as bystander intervention, myth busting, and resources.

When appropriate, the Center provides information on consent, information on where and how to get assistance, and how to report sexual violence to campus authorities and local law enforcement to Center clients. Center faculty coordinate with other providers of services such as the Health & Wellness Center and community-based providers as needed to assist students who have experienced sexual assault or dating violence.
