Sexual Assault Awareness Month educates communities and individuals about sexual assault and the actions they can take to prevent it.

Don’t forget — you are invited to turn up, speak up and support survivors by participating in University of Illinois Springfield’s Take Back the Night Event today, April 29, at 7 p.m.

The event will start outside the Union on the UIS campus. Weather permitting, the event will include a march across campus and end with a gathering inviting sexual assault survivors to share their stories and be supported. The rain location for Take Back the Night is in the Ballroom.

If you want to make posters for the march, arrive at 6 p.m. and join the creativity in the Student Life Center inside the Union.

If you have any questions, comments or need to report an incident related to sexual assault or harassments, please contact Nikki Baker, compliance and prevention coordinator, at Nikki.Baker@llcc.edu.
