Sexual Assault Awareness Month kicks off at UT with events to educate campus community wbir.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from wbir.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
On Tuesday, Jan. 26, there was a virtual event entitled âStand Out and Speak Up!â sponsored by the Jones Center for Leadership and Service.
This event sought to educate UT students and staff on how to become an active bystander. For those unfamiliar with the term, an active bystander is someone who takes the initiative to defuse difficult conflicts that they stumble upon either in their own communities or elsewhere.
The event was conducted by host Cierra Burnett and presenter Bilqis Amatus-Salaam as a part of the CMJ Student Leadership series.
At the beginning of the presentation, Amatus-Salaam discussed âbarriers to,â and âsolutions for intervening.â
