Upon the request of students, there will be offered a space in which we can come together and begin to process the violence that has been done to our community, as a community.  This is not an organizing or activist meeting, but rather a space to give voice to our concerns, fears, and sadnesses, and to hear the voices of others. 

This will be a student-only discussion space mediated by Dr. Karen Singleton and Dr. Suraiya Baluch, who are the Director of the Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Program at Columbia University, and the Director of the Sexual Harassment and Rape Education program at Princeton, respectively.   

Following the discussion will be lunch from Typhoon and the opportunity to share informally with each other and with Professors Jennifer Tucker and Gina Ulysse.  All students are invited and encouraged to attend. 

Date: Friday, May 15, 2009
Time: 11:00am
Location: 200 Church
