PS – In case you need a brief refresher about RespectCon:

·         RespectCon is a low-cost one-day conference held annually at Emory University in Atlanta Georgia focusing particularly on understanding sexual violence through a social justice lens. It is a space to connect with other colleagues, professionals, and students in the movement to end violence on college campuses.

·         The conference allows you to present new programs, learn what student activists on other campuses find successful, explore the profession of campus anti-violence work, and much more.

·         Above all, RespectCon offers a network of social justice advocates, accomplices, and collaborators from across the country that will help you create powerful change within your campus.

 

Best Regards,
