Dear friends,
The Center for Women’s and Gender Studies and INSPIRE: Empowering Texas Women Leaders are pleased to invite you to a special event next Thursday, in conjunction with RAINN day 2011, to raise awareness and educate UT students about sexual violence on campus. We will have a short screening of a collection of videos regarding the topic, followed by a panel of experts who will answer questions about sexual violence/assault at UT and in the Austin community. Some of the panel participants are Dr. Gloria Gonzalez-Lopez (a sociology professor and expert on the topic of sexual violence), a representative from SafePlace, and a peer-educator undergraduate student from Voices Against Violence. The details of the event are as follows:
What: Screening and panel discussion on the topic of sexual violence on college campuses
