advocates, intimate partner violence, rape, round table, SAS, sexual assault, sexual assault services

We had another great round table this  Tuesday, where we had Sexual Assault Services  (SAS) come and talk with us about the Red Flag Campaign, and the services that are provided throughout the college.

People had some great questions about consent, and raised some great points about how culturally there is a great impact on how we interact with one another sexually. There was a lot of focus on how “no” is not usually the stopping point, but the beginning of a negotiation, and how problematic that becomes, especially when people get worn down, and feel as though there is no other option.

All of these questions and topics were answered and further clarified by the wonderful people who came to visit from SAS. They did a great job of hosting our round table, and I know I walked away with more knowledge under my belt.

One of the biggest things I took away from this round table, is how fortunate we all are to have the support network  created by SAS.  Most institutions do not go to the lengths that these folks do in order to ensure that people get the help they need.

So here are some of  things  these amazing people do:

  • Provide support whether you are in a situation yourself, or trying to be there for family or friends who are in abusive relationships, sexual assaults, stalking
  • Anonymous reporting
  • All services are confidential
  • Always on call ( cell #, so you can text as well)
  • College -Wide
  • They can meet off-campus
  • They will go to appointments, court, exams, etc.

They provide support when people need it the most, and are helping to ensure that survivors are aware of all of their options.  We are quite fortunate to have this level of involvement, and people who invest so much time to make sure that survivors get help, and know that they are not alone.

SAS is under the NOVA Cares services here at  NOVA.  Here is there email: nova.sas@nvcc.edu and phone: 703-338-0834

Keep your calendars open for October 21 to join SAS for the  Clothesline Project

Things have been pretty crazy around here, but today we have a great round table that is looking at STEM; it is called  “Putting the Steam back in STEM.” I highly encourage folks to come in and participate. I will be heading up to 331 momentarily, and I will be sure to report back for folks who have missed it.  Hope to see you there.

Brooklyn Museum, Exhibit, Judy Chicago, round table, The Dinner Party, women's center

Many of you were really interested in the round table discussion today, and as promised here is the PowerPoint for it. Hope you guys enjoy!

In case you are unaware of the discussion, it deals with Judy Chicago’s “The Dinner Party”, which was completed in 1979. It was a collaborative piece that documents the women throughout Western Civilization. Please check out the presentation. Professor Martin did a wonderful job and presents a great overview of the installation.  Enjoy!
