Rape Awareness

During the first years of college, young men and women are bombarded with messages to be aware of their surroundings while outside on campus.

Don't walk home alone from the library late at night, park in a well-lit area, and watch your drink at parties to avoid being "roofied"- just a few of the things women are warned about.

But the fact is 60 percent of rapes occur in your own on-campus residence! (U.S. Department of Justice). Women are four times more likely to be raped by someone they know than by a total stranger. It is important for both men and women to understand the facts and how they can avoid being sexually assaulted.
