Even if you don't know it, it is likely that you know someone who is a survivor of gender based violence. One of the ways you can honor and support survivors today is by donating to Lehigh's Office of Gender Violence Education and Support during Lehigh's annual giving day:

A nonprofit support and service organization called the Crime Victims Council of the Lehigh Valley facilitated two events on Lehigh’s campus regarding alcohol, consent and r**e culture.

Rachel Knoblauch, an outreach worker for the council, said the events, which took place on Oct. 17 and Oct. 24, were planned especially for first-year students to learn more about r**e culture and to fulfill 5×10 credits required by the university. The 5×10 program is a series for first-years to learn more about and connect with Lehigh.

“We did a previous (5×10) on alcohol and consent, where we talked more about sexual violence and how society portrays that,” Knoblauch said. “We’re trying to create a more supporting environment together.”

Genevieve Powell, ‘25, a member of Break the Silence said these presentations are a good way to get freshmen involved and discussing these important topics.
