Sexual Assault Awareness Month
Together, as a community, we can make the necessary changes to protect our LSU family by addressing the underlying causes of sexual and domestic violence and changing that culture for good. This month, organizations and departments across campus will host events all month long to raise awareness. We’re committed to ending sexual violence and supporting survivors.
