Dear Volunteer community,

This April marks 25 years of commemorating National Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and the Office of Title IX and our partners at the Center for Health Education and Wellness, with the support of the Student Government Association, invite you to a month of campus-wide events and activities.

The fourth annual Vols Walk for SAAM, hosted by CHEW and the signature event of the month, will take place Tuesday, April 21, from noon to 2 p.m. This important event brings our campus community together in support of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

I invite all students, faculty, and staff to join the walk at the 21st Mortgage Plaza at the Student Union. Wear teal and bring your friends, classmates, and colleagues to raise awareness and show your support. A reception with refreshments, educational activities, and SAAM giveaways will follow.

I also invite you to review the 2025 Title IX annual report. The report illustrates an ongoing commitment to supporting transparency, increasing awareness, highlighting the work of our campus and community partners, and ensuring ongoing accountability.

Lastly, I encourage you to browse the complete 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 upcoming events this month. You can learn more about on- and off-campus support and resources on the Title IX website. Our door remains open year-round to your ideas, suggestions, questions, and concerns.
