Upcoming Events

Join the Title IX Office for its 2025 Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) programs. This year's national SAAM theme is "Together We Act, United We Change!" Let's take this month to consider how we can come together to enact positive change at ATU!
  • April 2: SAAM Table, "Consent and Myth Busting." Kick start Sexual Assault Awareness Month by challenging commonly-held myths about consent and sexual violence from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. in the Chambers Cafeteria Hallway.
  • April 3: Guest Speaker Marissa Cohen, "Relationships, Red Flags, and Risk Reduction." Relationships really shape us. They impact our decision-making, how we perceive love, ourselves, and our surroundings. When you're in a toxic or unhealthy relationship, you start to feel that the abusive and nacissistic behavior is normal. And especially in college, these relationships have the ability to define our futures. In this program, we identify healthy and unhealthy relationships, discuss what red and yellow flags look like, break down consent, and have discussions about boundaries and how to be a good friend and partner. Very important lessons, portrayed in a lighthearted, fun, and engaging program, group discussions, and a lot of comfortable laughter. 12:30 - 1:30 p.m. in Hull Student Union.
  • April 7: SAAM Table, "Bystander Intervention." Learn quick tips for how to effectivly intervene in a bystander situation to ensure you're helping without being at risk. 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. in the Chambers Cafeteria Hallway.
  • April 8: Active Bystander Training. Learn how to respond in difficult situations to assist others in need based on the 5Ds of bystander intervention: delay, distract, direct, delegate, and document. 3-4 p.m. in Rothwell 208.
