WHEREAS, Sexual Assault Awareness Month calls attention to the fact that sexual -

one in six boys and one in four girls will experience a sexual assault before
age 18 (Dube et al., 2005); and,

12-17 were 2.5 times as likely to be victims of rape or sexual assault (Snyder

WHEREAS, On campus, one in five women and one in 16 men are sexually assaulted during
their time in college (Krebs, Lindquist, Warner, Fisher, d Martin, 2007); and,

prevention, supporting survivors, and speaking out against harmful attitudes
