Sexual Assault Awareness Month

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. -
In honor of April being Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Lock Haven University’s Hope Center and Campus Violence Prevention Program (CVPP) will host “There’s Hope,” a program on services for survivors of sexual assault. The program will take place on Tuesday, April 5, 2011 at 12:00 p.m. in the Hope Center (room 204G East Campus.)
Participants can gather information on campus and community resources while enjoying refreshments. Program participants include The Hope Center, CVPP, The Aids Project, Clinton County Women’s Center and LHU’s Counseling Services.
This event will serve as a kickoff to The Hope Center’s annual Take Back the Night sexual assault awareness vigil, which is scheduled to take place later that evening at 7:00 p.m. on Russell Lawn. The Hope Center, which addresses a variety of women’s issues, works closely with campus and community resources to present a unified force on violence against women.
These events are free and open to the public. Please contact Dr. Elizabeth Gruber at egruber@lhup.edu or Jennifer Bodnar at jbodnar2@lhup.edu for more information.
