Dear Volunteer community, 

April is National Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and the Office of Title IX and our partners at the Center for Health Education and Wellness with support from the Student Government Association invite you to a month of campus-wide events and activities.

I’m excited to highlight the signature event of the month, Vols Walk for SAAM. This third annual event is hosted by CHEW and will be held Wednesday, April 16, from noon to 2 p.m. The walk will start at the 21st Mortgage Plaza at the Student Union at 12:10 p.m. Wear teal and bring your friends, classmates, and colleagues to raise awareness and show support. A reception will follow with refreshments, educational activities, and SAAM giveaways.

I also invite you to review the 2024 Title IX annual report. The report serves to support transparency, increase awareness, highlight the work of our campus and community partners, and ensure ongoing accountability.

Lastly, I encourage you to browse the list of additional events offered during Sexual Assault Awareness Month through the SAAM events calendar. We are working to maintain an informed and engaged community by building awareness, and we cannot fulfill that mission without you. It takes all of us moving forward as Volunteers.

I look forward to seeing you at the month’s upcoming events. Our door remains open year-round to your ideas, suggestions, questions, and concerns.

Title IX Coordinator
