Campus Programming and Education

Goal: To educate participants about the early warning signs of relationship abuse and what they can do if they witness or experience these warning signs. The Escalation Workshop is a 90-minute film-based discussion led by trained facilitators and does not work as well in a drop-in format.

Goal: To engage students in practicing bystander intervention techniques in a variety of situations, including alcohol misuse, mental health concerns, sexual assault, interpersonal violence, and hate and bias incidents. This program is facilitated with a PowerPoint and does not work as well in a drop-in format.

Goal: To educate students about proper use of barrier methods including condoms, dental dams, and internal condoms. Increase students’ knowledge of sexual health related topics including abstinence, contraception, STIs/STDs, healthy relationship and communication, and human biology. Increase students’ confidence and comfort of sexual health information and contraceptive methods. Educate students about how to communicate consent and boundaries in relationships. This program encompasses a wide variety of both sexual health and violence prevention topics.

Goal: To educate students on active consent through the metaphor of creating and sharing a pizza. Please note that the program requestor will need to supply pizza (typically ordered from Chartwells). This program is facilitated with a PowerPoint and does not work as well in a drop-in format.
