April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month- Sexual Harassment Prevention Week

A woman holding a teal ribbon for Sexual Assault Awareness Month.Sexual harassment is against the law and has no place at LLCC. Are you able to answer all of these questions?

What does sexual harassment look like?
What does sexual harassment sound like?
How would you support someone who says they were sexually harassed?
If you experienced sexual harassment on campus, where would you go to report it?

The truth is that all of us would benefit from a refresher. Join Prairie Center Against Sexual Assault, PCASA, on April 15 and 18 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. to learn about sexual harassment.

Save the Date for next week’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month programming which focuses on Supporting Sexual Assault Survivors.

  • April 23 – Stop by the resource table in A. Lincoln Commons from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. to learn how to support sexual assault survivors.
  • April 24 – Denim Day sponsored by LLCC’s Games Club – Denim Day is an annual, National Day of Awareness that encourages participants to wear denim as a symbol of believing survivors and asserting that consent has nothing to do with your clothing. Donate a minimum of $5 to PCASA and purchase a sticker to wear denim on National Denim Day 2024. Donations will be accepted in Student Life and the Outreach Center locations.

Additional information and resources on sexual assault is available on LLCC’s website. You may also contact Leslie Johnson, Interim Compliance & Prevention Coordinator , 217-786-2848.
