This event is part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). SAAM is an opportunity to recognize and educate ourselves and others about the prevalence of sexualized violence and work together to create safer spaces across our campus and communities. We all play an important role in building a culture of consent and equity at Acadia.

This year, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Officer Polly Leonard has teamed up with Allison Smith (Acadia’s Sexualized Violence Response and Education Coordinator), and Deans Laura Robinson, Suzie Currie, and Heather Saunders to plan some fun, informative, and engaging events. Everyone is welcome to attend, and we encourage you to share this information widely and bring your colleagues and friends!
