Ithaca College

The Park School of Communications invites you to a screening of a rape awareness and prevention film, Welcome to the Party, directed and edited by Tom Nicholson, assistant professor of television and radio. The screening will take place on Wednesday, March 19, at 7:30 p.m. in the Park Auditorium.

Welcome to the Party was designed to be a teaching tool for professionals providing sexual assault prevention in higher education. The incidence of sexual assaults on campuses continues to hover at an amazing 20 to 25 percent. Someone the victim knows -- an acquaintance -- commits the vast majority of these assaults. This film was created to help address the acquaintance rape situation on campuses today.

Please note that there are scenes in the film that are graphic and may be difficult to watch.
