SWAG to Increase Awareness
Facilitating Bringing in the Bystander on the CSCU campus has been a great experience. Students appear to really engage with the material and have open, honest discussions about sexual violence in our community, and the roles each of us can play in prevention. This program has been a strong addition to our prevention programming and the feedback from students has been excellent.
