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

["Lauren Sogor" <>]

John (and all),
Greetings! My name is Lauren and I manage Sexual Assault Awareness Month
at the National Sexual Violence Resource Center. We have a list of
events and activities for SAAM on our website, www.nsvrc.org/saam under
Resources. There are quite a few that could be planned and implemented
on a low budget. We also sell low-cost promotional items for folks doing
this work. If anyone has other activities or events to recommend, please
let me know and I will add them to our growing list.  If you have any
questions about SAAM, please feel free to contact me; I'd be happy to
help!  Thank you!
Lauren

If you are going to recommend Lucky, do so carefully.  it is a VERY 
intense read and I have worked with some survivors that were not able to

read past the first few pages (which is the account of the  rape).  I 
make sure to prepare them for that first. 

There are also some older books that are good overall that I still 
recommend
I never called it rape
Still loved by the Sun (which is also a first person account that reads 
like a journal)
and Speak (which is a fiction, about a High School student, but I find 
it very true to life and works well with the college population also)

benefits of informing the campus community when there is a sexual
assault that would not necessary meet the standards for "Student's Right
to Know" and a timely warning.  For example, we have had a couple of
assaults that have resulted in arrests and ended up in the community
paper and actually everybody on campus did a great job of responding but
there is no information coming from campus.  I have found that students
and faculty/staff begin to wonder why there is not a statement from
campus and begin to conjecture about that and it seems to create a lot
of mistrust.  I am advocating that a simple statement be sent to
students, faculty and staff acknowledging that we are aware and
responding to the situation or some such statement that does not violate
confidentiality of the students etc.  The campus is in the process  of
meetings and discussions about communications protocol in these types of
situations and w

> With regard to books for survivors, my top recommendation is Voices of
Courage, edited by Mike Domitrz.   It is full of a wide variety of
perspectives of how people made it through their experiences to become
thriving survivors.  My second recommendation is Lucky by Alice Sebold.
It is written more as a novel and is a captivating read.  For a PTSD
survivor Voices of Courage would be particularly strong.

Colleagues,

I'm compiling a list of suggestions for colleges to use for awareness
activities for Sexual Assault Awareness month that cost little to no
money (given the state of the economy).  I thought that this list serve
would be a great place to start a discussion of ideas.  Of course the
white ribbon campaign is one very inexpensive idea (white ribbon doesn't
cost a lot!).  What are some other ideas?

John Foubert
