Recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and because of this the Center for Women and Gender Equity (CWGE) will be holding a “Plant Your Power” event in the Kirkhof Center. This is to symbolize healing and growth. Participants will be able to plant a heart-shaped seed paper in a small nursery pot that they will then take home to grow.

On Wednesday, April 5, CWGE will be hosting a Community Resource Fair in the Kirkhof Lounge from noon to 3 p.m. This will feature both on- and off-campus resources to help support survivors of sexual assault in their healing. There will be tables to answer questions about their services as well as share any opportunities they have to get involved.

On Thursday, April 6, there will be trauma-informed yoga in the Kelley Sports Center room 002BC from 4-5 p.m. This session will be led by GVSU yoga instructor. In order to attend this session register through the MindBody app. Participants must bring their own yoga mat or towel to use.

To close out the week, CWGE asks students to wear teal on Friday, April 7 to help raise awareness and show support.
