Campus to speak out against sexual assault

By Sarah Donovan | November 13

Students will give a voice today to an often-silent topic - sexual violence. Project Dinah, a student organization that promotes women's safety and empowerment, is sponsoring "Speak Out! Against Sexual Assault" tonight in the Pit. "For some reason, our society thinks it's inappropriate to talk about sexual assault," said senior Alyson Culin, a Project Dinah member. "The entire goal of Project Dinah is to shadow the silence." The event aims to help end the culture of silence that surrounds sexual assault and to promote awareness about sexual assault on campus and in the nation.
