AU Departments Team Up For Sexual Assault Awareness Month

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Everyone has a role to play in ending sexual assault, harassment, and abuse. It’s on Us to change the culture. #SAAM2021

Augusta University put forth an annual effort to spread awareness and support for the initiative. Title IX, Athletics, Student Life and Engagement, Communications & Marketing, AU Police Department, Department of Social Sciences, Student Health, Student Wellness, and SCAPS all partner together to host a variety of campus events and interactions throughout the month of April.

Sexual harassment, assault, and abuse can happen anywhere, including in online spaces. As we connect online, we can learn how to practice digital consent, intervene when we see harmful content or behaviors, and ensure that online spaces — whether they be workspaces, classrooms, social media platforms, or otherwise — are respectful and safe.
