The goal of this task force is to raise awareness and create dialogue on campus.\u00a0These events will help pave the path for faculty and students to share in a better understanding about what sexual assault is and what we can all do about it.\u0094<\/p>\n\u0093I know many students are afraid of this subject,\u0094 said Lia Arias-Centellas, a junior and Student Government Association Senator. \u0093We don\u0092t necessarily know what sexual assault is.

I think students will have much more information and feel that they have the resources and support that they need after these events. They will feel like they have a voice and can take action.”
