A series of lectures, workshops, and panel discussions will address the impact of gender violence and sexual assault on individuals and campus communities during\u00a0Survivor to Thriver: Confronting Sexual Assault on Campus<\/i>, a conference to be held on Tuesday, April 2, and Wednesday, April 3, at the University of Rochester.<\/p>\n

“The responsibility of confronting sexual assault is in the hands of all University of Rochester students and it is imperative that as a community we work together to support those that are personally affected by sexual violence and educate each other about ways to prevent it from occurring,” said Sara Gleisle, a student in the Warner School of Education and graduate assistant in the UHS Health Promotion Office, who helped organize the conference.<\/p>\n

The conference, which is free and open to the public, has a host of supporters, including the University’s Susan B. Anthony Center for Women’s Leadership. “Conferences such as this reflect a great partnership between the campus and community to work together on important issues,” said Catherine Cerulli, director of the Center. “While many services exist within the campus and community at large to help victims begin their healing journeys, they must first know help is available. Our panelists will help demystify the process in efforts to encourage survivors to reach out.”<\/p>\n

The conference opens Tuesday evening with a screening of the film\u00a0Not My Life<\/i>, which depicts the scourge of human trafficking on a global scale. Narrated by Glenn Close, the film takes viewers into a world where millions of children are exploited through practices including forced labor, sex tourism, and child soldiering. The film screens at 7:30 p.m. in Hoyt Auditorium, and will be followed by a brief discussion.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, April 3, the day-long event will feature opening remarks about the importance of combatting sexual violence from University President Joel Seligman. The day also includes a keynote address from a former student athlete who recovered from an assault, a panel discussion sharing resources for survivors of gender violence, and lectures from University of Rochester faculty members. “We hope students gain a better understanding of sexual assault and more confidence in their ability to seek resources that may benefit themselves or their peers,” Gleisle explained. “By introducing students to different topics and means of engaging others, we aim to change the conversation about sexual assault.”<\/p>\n
