BLACK HILLS STATE UNIVERSITY RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT SEXUAL ASSAULT

Black Hills State University is joining many others across the country in taking action to prevent sexual violence during Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) this April.

The goal of SAAM is to raise public awareness about sexual violence and educate communities on how to prevent it. SAAM calls attention to the fact that sexual harassment, assault, and abuse are widespread and impact every person in this community.

BHSU President Laurie S. Nichols is enthusiastic about BHSU getting involved with this annual campaign.  She signed a proclamation last week noting the University’s commitment to this cause.

“We join others across the country in taking action to prevent sexual violence,” Nichols said in the Presidential Proclamation. “We are committed to creating an environment where sexual violence in any form is unacceptable and survivors are supported. Our goal is to eliminate sexual violence in our community.”

Events are scheduled throughout the month. See the schedule here.
