April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The Sexual Assault and Violence Education (SAVE) Task Force is hosting their second annual Sexual Assault Awareness Day of Action on April 4. The runway event is being held in A. Lincoln Commons from 10 a.m.-1 p.m., with a showing of The Hunting Ground (available thanks to the LLCC Library!) and a facilitated discussion beginning at 1:30 p.m.

The event will consist of:

Judges will award the title of Runway Star to one student and one employee. Each Runway Star will receive a trophy and bragging rights!
• Educational area showcasing TED Talks andpPublic service announcements about preventing sexual assault. Adult coloring pages and popcorn will also be available.
