Roundup of Sexual Assault Awareness Month events
The Cathedral of Learning and William Pitt Union on campus.
This September is Pitt’s first Campus Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and to better create an environment of support for survivors of sexual violence, Prevention at Pitt has organized a series of programs during the course of the month.
According to the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network, more than 50% of sexual assaults on college campuses occur during the first six weeks of the fall semester, making September a critical time for awareness education.
