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

Hi Adriane! UCSB hosted "Kristin's Story" on campus last year. The 
partnership that brought Andrea, Kristin's mother to campus, was a great 
opportunity to engage many community members including students and staff 
from student government, sororities, fraternities, sexual and dating violence 
prevention, counseling, and student health. Andrea did a fantastic job 
sharing Kristin's story and this was very moving for many in the audience. We 
set up tabling ahead of the event, the student volunteers shared a meal, and 
several counselors/advocates arranged to be around during and after the event 
if anyone wanted to speak with us. We had several hundred students attend and 
were very engaged. It also gave us something to build additional outreach and 
educations efforts onto. One of students was so moved that she wanted to 
organize a similar event this year. We worked together to host a "Sister 
Speak Out" panel presentation for the Greek community this past Monday that 
went very well.
