College students are more likely to be sexually assaulted than any other age group – in fact, they are four times more likely.

Because of this, the Fort Hays State University Women’s Leadership Project along with the FHSU University Police Department and the Kelly Center, will host “RAINN Day” Thursday, September 21, at the Fort Hays State University Memorial Union patio, 10:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m.

RAINN (Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network) is an organization that spreads awareness of these issues to students across the country and encourages them to take a stand.

This year, WLP will be hosting RAINN Day on the Fort Hays State campus not only to encourage a more trusting relationship between students and the UPD, but also in preparation for The Red Flag Campaign which will occur throughout the month of October. The Red Flag Campaign is a campus-wide effort to raise student awareness of the many aspects of dating violence, including sexual violence. This program provides opportunities for students to educate themselves on the issues of sexual violence and mobilize against it. Look for our presence in the Union and Quad on September 21 and across campus throughout the month of October.
