On Tuesday and Wednesday, StudentsÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½™ Association members will be on hand in Wilson Commons to launch the UniversityÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½™s “ItÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½™s On Us” campaign, a national effort to raise awareness about sexual violence in all of its forms.
As part of the campaign, a new video produced by the StudentsÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½™ Association Government in collaboration with University Communications features students, administrative leaders, and staff from many different parts of the University encouraging everyone to take a stand against sexual violence. The video also highlights many of the ongoing efforts at the University that are helping to prevent sexual misconduct, as well as the resources available to the community.
To view the video and to learn more about the campaign and how to get involved, visit the SA ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½œItÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½™s on UsÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½� page at .
StudentsÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½™ Association President Antoinette Esce ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½™15, Vice President David Stark ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½™16 and other student leaders, including members of Men Opposing Violence Everywhere (MOVE) and UR SEGway (Survivor Empowerment Group), will be at Wilson Commons from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday to provide ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½œItÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½™s on UsÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½� campaign information and materials and invite others to get involved and take the pledge.
ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½œDavid and I are proud of the work that all of our student organizations do to educate our campus community about the issue of sexual assault,ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½� said Esce.
