We talk about the prevalence of sexual violence on college campuses, what resources to look for when researching prospective colleges, and how students can report sexual violence. We also inform students about consent, how rape culture and victim-blaming contribute to sexual violence, and how to intervene as a bystander to help their peers. Finally, we cover related legislation under which institutions are ruled, such as Title IX and the Cleary Act. The event will be held in the Craig B. Tate Conference Room at the New Canaan Public Library.
