At the end of last spring semester, the VPEO polled students to ask what topics they would like to learn more about. We got lots of feedback that students were interested in further exploring r**e culture and toxic masculinity. In response, we have dedicated the month of November to these topics, through programming and social media education! Check out the link in our Instagram bio to read Erika W. Smith's Refinery29.com article for updates on r**e culture since the start of the movement. (Content Warning: S*xual violence)

Today! Stop by the Multicultural Center from 11-12:30am to learn about Betsy's Friends, and new work study positions in the Violence Prevention and Educational Outreach Program!

We believe that violence prevention, healthy relationship promotion and consent education is vital for all communities. Having diverse representation among our peer educators helps us to best reach, engage and serve all segments of our student community. Underrepresented students who are interested in helping to foster safe and healthy relationships within their communities are encouraged to apply!

And save the date: This Wednesday, is our Betsy's Friends 'Meet and Greet' Pizza Party from 5:30-7pm in SOM 106! Stop by for this first meeting of the year, to learn how to get involved!

Pictures from the Connections Carnival! It was a great turn out and we look forward to a great semester. If you’re looking to get involved with Betsy’s Friends and the Violence Prevention and Educational Outreach program, please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected]!
