Dress in denim to build awareness.
Wednesday, April 29
In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, the University community is invited to participate in a virtual event on Denim Day to support global rape prevention education. Celebrated on April 29, millions of people across the world will wear denim with a purpose—in support of survivors and to educate themselves and others about all forms of sexual violence. This initiative—led by the University’s Title IX office in conjunction with our It’s On Us campaign—encourages students, faculty, and staff to submit photos wearing denim and to post those #DenimDay photos on social media.
