During this final week of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we focus on how we can help prevent sexual assault and support survivors.

Bystander intervention can keep a bad situation from escalating. Often bystanders do nothing because they are sure “someone” will step up and they aren’t certain how they can be that “someone.”

This short video produced by Prairie Center Against Sexual Assault provides options for protecting everyone’s safety and being the someone who steps up.

A special thank you to the student organizations who helped “Teal Up” the LLCC campus:  Student Radiographers Association, Chemistry Club, IV Leaguers, Black Student Union, Environmental Club, Student Government Association, Phi Theta Kappa, Associate Degree Nursing Beta Nu Honor Society and the Honors Program. And thank you to the Outreach Center locations and the informal employee teams. What a great job!
