Events open to faculty and staff include:

Thursday, March 12

The Clothesline Project, 7 p.m., Room 119, Union: Featuring t-shirt art to support survivors and victims of sexual violence and assault through expression of thoughts and feelings about victimization as an observer, a bystander or someone who has been affected.

In addition, a clothing drive and a Just the Facts Campaign will be held during March and April. Dining halls on campus will display table tents featuring resources and statistics about Sexual Assault Awareness Month as part of the campaign. The campus community can donate new “comfort” clothing items (i.e. sweatpants) for victims of sexual assault. Contact Sherene Brantley at lemoniass@duq.edu for more information.
