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.
