The Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life is proud to support the efforts of multiple entities who have joined together to create valuable events and programs for April’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). SAAM is a long-standing effort at UO and we are excited to endorse.
Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) which is symbolized by a teal ribbon representing a commitment to supporting survivors. During SAAM, the Sexual Violence Prevention and Education team collaborates with campus and community partners to create a month full of educational and interactive ways to address the spectrum of violence; this includes sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating or domestic violence, gender-based harassment, and stalking.
SAAM is a critical opportunity to not only demonstrate our unwavering solidarity with survivors, but to be agents of change, working to create a campus culture that fosters healthy relationships, demonstrates care and support, puts consent into practice, and takes action to prevent instances of sexual violence. The SVP Team is committed to providing programming and outreach that is survivor centered, trauma informed, culturally salient, community specific, and student driven.
Support is an important part of healing and navigating this work together as a community. Please consider connecting with the Care and Advocacy Program, Counseling Services, the SAFE website, or call the SAFE Hotline at 541-346-SAFE (7233).
