The Office of Sexual Violence Prevention Resistance, and Support invites women students, staff, faculty, and community members to act as participants in dry runs of a sexual assault resistance program for women, Flip the Script with EAAA™.

The run-throughs need at least six participants to give the facilitators a sense of what a real facilitation is like.

Registration is prioritized for folks able to attend all sessions, as the content builds on previous material.

“This is an opportunity for campus and community members to see the program,” says sexual violence education assistant Jessica Glazewski. “We’re so excited to share this session with you!”

Students will receive compensation of $50 for each session they attend.

All participants will receive lunch and snacks for each of the four sessions, which run 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.:
