Ithaca College

Ithaca College and the local Advocacy Center have recently partnered to create a "Peer Educators" program for bystander intervention, a sexual violence prevention strategy based on individuals supporting others who they believe to be at risk.  Rather than education presented by college staff, this program supports the idea that students learning from student peers can lead to a more open and comfortable dialogue.  Typically presented in classes, club meetings, and RA programs, an open session of this program for all campus students will be offered tonight, Wednesday April 27, in the Klingenstein Lounge.  The session will run from 7 to 8 p.m.

As part of the College's recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, this presentation is an opportunity to see one of our most recently developed initiatives for confronting the issue of sexual violence on college campuses. Topics addressed will include the bystander effect, some basic intervention techniques, and group discussion of sample scenarios.  We hope to see you there - 7 p.m., Klingenstein Lounge.
