From Julie Smith: As you may know, April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This year, I have been working with a group of passionate students through the new program People Against Violence Everywhere (PAVE) to put together two student-led events in honor of this month. I am also excited to be supporting an event hosted by Bay Area Turning Point and The Bridge Over Troubled Waters. The information for these events is below and flyers are attached. Your help in spreading the word about these events to your students, friends, and throughout the community would be greatly appreciated.
