Peer Education Team to Discuss Cross-Country Experience

February 15, 2005 :: No. 130

What: Four graduate students from William and Mary College in Virginia who are traveling across the country presenting sexual assault prevention programs for their peers will visit Cal State Fullerton next month.
When/Where: Noon-1 p.m. Monday, March 7, in University Hall, Room 205
Background: Since August, the “One in Four” Peer Education Team has traveled to college campuses and high schools to present a series of talks aimed at generating a better understanding of sexual assault and its psychological effects. The program, named for the statistic that one in four women will be a victim of sexual assault, is sponsored by the National Organization of Men’s Outreach for Rape Education (NO MORE). The team’s national tour continues through June.
Who: In addition to the noon talk, the visiting students also will be speaking before groups of student athletes and residents of on-campus housing. The presentations are sponsored by the university’s Women’s Center, campus residence halls and the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
Quote: “This is all about prevention,” noted Susan Leavy, Women’s Center community educator. “Our goal is always to give our students information that will help guide them throughout their lives. Even though we have few such incidences on campus, it is important for our students to know more about sexual assault and that the university is providing them with opportunities to learn how to be safe, how to better communicate, how to be better aware.”
