Programming Descriptions
The Clothesline Project
Monday through Friday
Statesboro Campus Locations: Russell Union, Henderson Library, RAC and Pedestrium
Armstrong Campus Locations: Student Union, Lane Library and Learning Commons
The Clothesline Project is a campus-wide display of t-shirts representing survivors and supporters of sexual violence. Students are able to create new t-shirts each year, which are saved to become part of future displays. The displays provide a visual representation of the incidence rates of sexual violence.
Creating Champions – Virtual Training
Wednesday, 2/24 from 5:30 PM to 8 PM via Zoom
The Creating Champions workshop is a three-hour interactive and informative program. Created for male-identified individuals, we can confront challenges due to harmful gender norms while restructuring the concept of masculinity through mindful and intentional evaluation. The program is designed to help deepen understanding, gain new perspective, identify harmful societal norms, and provide tips, tools, and inspiration to empower everyone to make a difference, every day.
Take Back the Night – Virtual Event
Thursday, 2/25 at 7:00 PM via Zoom
Take Back the Night is a virtual event to raise awareness about sexual violence. It is an opportunity to foster empowerment and civic responsibility.
