Sexual Assault Awareness Month being observed this month at Luther College

Luther College in April is observing Sexual Assault Awareness Month, an event that raises public awareness of sexual violence and educates communities on its prevention.

On Monday the college participated in a National Day of Outreach, in which Luther joined other campuses and organizations across the nation to distribute educational materials on staying safe, as well as tools to help stop sexual assault.  Students were encouraged to complete Haven, an online learning platform addressing the critical issues of sexual assault, relationship violence and stalking.  Haven is an interactive module designed to engage and empower students to create safe, healthy campus environments.

Later in April—on April 23rd--Luther will host "Denim Day," when all Luther faculty, staff and students will be encouraged to donate money and wear denim to raise awareness of sexual assault. All money raised will be used to raise awareness about the effects of sexual assault and help end sexual abuse.
