Domestic and sexual violence don’t just happen “somewhere else” — they happen in college communities, often behind closed doors, and can escalate when firearms are involved. This event will explore how intimate partner violence is often a precursor to gun violence, and how we can recognize the warning signs before tragedy strikes.
This is about protecting each other, not just talking about the issues. Come ready to learn, engage, and be part of the solution.
