In this course, students will examine sexual violence in the college environment, its various institutional and cultural contexts, and how to support survivors, as well as develop practical skills for leading peer workshops for the FYCARE (First Year Consent and Relationship Education) program. During the course, students can apply to be FYCARE facilitators for future semesters. For more information, contact womenscenter@illinois.edu.
