The University of Virginia’s Title IX Office in collaboration with Violence Prevention and Advocacy invite the community to participate in a week of events in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This series aims to foster education, reflection, and connection through interactive programming and dialogue.
Events include:
“What Were You Wearing?” - a powerful art installation challenging common myths about sexual violence;
Title IX Panel - featuring campus partners, such as our Title IX Case Manager, VPA's Confidential Advocate, University Police's Victim Assistance Program Coordinator, and a UVA Nurse Examiner where they will discuss their roles, support resources, and how they collaborate across University systems and processes. Participants are encouraged to register for the event where they can submit an anonymous question to be asked of the panelists as well as for an opportunity to be entered into a drawing for a gift card;
Reel vs. Real - a conversation exploring how media portrayals of violence compare to real-life experiences; and
Title IX Open House - offering opportunities to connect with staff while enjoying Ben & Jerry's ice cream while participating in a luminary decorating activity.
Join us as we raise awareness, support those who have been impacted by sexual violence, and build a more informed and compassionate community.
Additional information can be found on the Student Health and Wellness Events page.
