April 17 – May 1, Pledges and Paper Ribbons – anyone wanting to sign a pledge to help stop sexual violence will be given a paper teal ribbon to write their names. Paper ribbons will be displayed in the Phoenix Club for awareness.

April 26, National Clothesline Project – anyone interested in decorating a t-shirt to remember someone they know who has been sexually abused or assaulted is welcome to request a free shirt to decorate, or just drop one off at the Community Center for Dovekas of Residence Life.
