#ConsentWeek
Consent Week is an opportunity for campus community members to engage in conversations, activities, and events focused on consent, in an effort to build a #ConsentCulture.
Consent Weeks are held twice a year, during the third week of September, and the fourth week of January.
Though talking about consent and advancing consent culture are work we do all year round, consent week enables us to intentionally:
-
Normalize dialogue about consent
-
Enhance nuanced understandings of consent
-
Explore how to engage in healthy, positive, respectful relationships with each other
-
Embed consent in our daily practices
-
And highlight the services on and off campus available for support
