ORGANIZING ON CAMPUS 2014-2015

UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS DALLAS

At the University of Texas at Dallas, the student government, sororities and fraternities, and other student stakeholders came together to launch their Week of Action. The It’s On Us logo and branding were incorporated into their homecoming festivities, and student leaders were featured in “We Are UT Dallas” a one-minute video highlighting UT Dallas’s participation in the campaign.

GALLAUDET UNIVERSITY WASHINGTON, D.C.

During Sexual Assault Awareness Month, over 1,200 students and faculty at Gallaudet University came together for an It’s On Us Day of Action. Programming included a pledge drive, campus rally and march, and a keynote address by university President T. Alan Hurwitz. Gallaudet created and handed out thousands of It’s On Us t-shirts to attendees to wear during the event. The event was featured in the Washington Post as well as on local news stations.

MIAMI UNIVERSITY OXFORD, OHIO

This year, I hosted a “Night of Unawareness,” a student-led conversation and art gallery centered around the taboo of sexual violence on college campuses. With the goal of changing the discussion from “it doesn’t happen here” to “what can we do to change this,” the Night of Unawareness was a safe place to discuss the undiscussed.

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY HEMPSTEAD, NEW YORK

Hofstra students put together an It’s On Us “Freeze” in their Student Center atrium to bring awarness to the campaign. 500 students, staff, and faculty members “froze” in the middle of the busy student hub as the It’s On Us PSA played over the loudspeakers.

UW-La Crosse students hosted an It’s On Us flag football game with student-athletes, Greek organizations, and other student groups. All proceeds from the game were donated to sexual assault prevention groups on campus.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN LA CROSSE

OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY NORFOLK, VIRGINIA

Old Dominion hosted a Dine and Donate benefit, which encouraged students, faculty, and staff to take an active role in preventing sexual assault in our community. The highlight of the event was a screening of the documentary It Happened Here. We also hosted a Campus Kickback, which celebrated the 1,500 students who signed the It’s On Us pledge, and a Greek Step Show where the Greek community came together as one to take the pledge.
