Over the summer, our office strengthened its connections with various on-campus departments. I'm very excited about the upcoming collaborations and wonderful events we have yet to plan and successfully execute this academic year. The new workshop approach, implemented with UNV 101, allows all students to learn about our services, consent, and healthy relationships, which makes me enthusiastic and optimistic about the increased impact.
The Pace Community can get involved in multiple ways. Sign up for one of our workshops or contact us for partnerships and collaborations. We are always open to attending events, so please feel free to reach out!
Creating a campus free of interpersonal violence requires the involvement of many people and is a collaborative effort. I suggest using your voice and showing your support. We all have a part to play in preventing violence and supporting survivors. This can involve speaking out when we witness it, reevaluating how we handle consent in our relationships, and educating ourselves with knowledge and resources to support and empower survivors.
We are organizing and planning events for Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This fall, watch for these and many more upcoming programs. The best way to stay updated is through our Instagram page, @osiwplv.
