October Block Party
The E&H Black Student Union participated in the October block party sponsored by the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. A canine friend also came out to the festivities, exploring the LGBTQ+ Student Union table.
The program’s purpose is to begin conversations on how gender stereotypes contribute to rape culture and harm survivors. The program unpacks the practice of hooking-up, and identifies the differences between healthy hook-ups, regretted hook-ups, and sexual assault. The program closes using the information learned about perpetrators’ motives and behaviors in order to devise successful bystander intervention strategies and decrease a community’s tolerance for sexual predation.
The Dean of Students, Department of Athletics, the Title IX Office and the Office of New Student Experience sponsored the program.
