    Facilitated by Sarah Clermont

    Sexual and gender-based violence are complicated issues made more complex because university and college campuses are embedded in larger societies. As employees of postsecondary institutions, we can not be entirely responsible for stopping all forms of sexual violence and harassment. However, we can work together to create inclusive learning environments that support survivors and advance the university's commitment to end sexual violence through education, prevention and outreach. This workshop will begin by examining the impacts of sexual violence within the postsecondary context and discuss how we can work together to start a campus-wide conversation around preventing sexual violence.
