Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["Mike Domitrz (author & speaker)" <>]

The overall issue is education.  The earlier -- the better.  Getting K-12 to
appropriately and openly discuss sexual assault and healthy relationships is
improving.  Nevertheless, we still have a long way to go.  For this reason,
we need to be diligent about getting these important messages to college
students as soon as possible.  The sooner we can reveal how this issue
effects each student on a personal basis, the sooner the student can create
a stronger awareness in their own life and in the lives of others.
Orientation is a great place to start the conversation and education.  The
key is to follow that first educational moment with many more programs
throughout each year.  In addition, provide varied educational programming.

Presenters on this issue can tell you how often students say, "I've heard
rape and sexual assault programs before, but I never realized . . ."  The
more chances we provide for learning, the greater the chances are that
positive change will take place.  Education is a life-long journey!!
