This is a scene developed for an Awareness through Performance (ATP) production through the Research and Resource Center for Campus Climate at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. ATP is a production created by UW-L students that brings together both upbeat and serious scenes which encourage audience members to acknowledge the dignity and worth of all people. Through creative and artistic messages, the audience is provided with the tools necessary to further engage in dialogue and take action to educate others about the topics discussed. This particular scene, Got Consent?, takes a look at the topic of sexual assault, rape and consent in the college campus scene. The second part of the skit, Blue Blanket, is a piece written by poet/activist Andrea Gibson.

The program outlines the current law on sexual harassment, lists UW-L's policies and procedures for reporting sexual harassment, and includes examples illustrating the kinds of words and behavior that might be regarded as sexual harassment to show what should be avoided.
In order to educate the campus community regarding sexual assault and its impact at UW-La Crosse, this tutorial has been created. With this knowledge, you may be the person who helps the victim begin the move to survivor status.

"In Their Shoes" is one important step on the path to removing the hidden barriers that impact us all. As educators, it is important for us to embrace the spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act by creating an inclusive learning environment that is empowering and supportive of the needs of our students and employees with disabilities.
