Join us for part two of the "Not on OUR Campus" panel discussion at 6 p.m. Feb. 13 in Hart Chapel. The first "Not on OUR Campus" panel was in December, in response to and to create a dialogue about the alleged cover-up of child sexual abuse at Penn State University. The Feb. 13 panel discussion will focus on the interpersonal, rather than institutional, aspects of this crime. Issues for victims, consequences for perpetrators and treatment and prevention of sexual assault/aggression will be addressed by panelists Diane Kuntz, PASSAGES, Inc.; Brenda Manno, Project Point of Light; Mark Lapore, Clarion University Counseling Center; Tracy Park, victim services/district attorney's office; and a survivor. Dr. Bob Girvan, Clarion University professor emeritus, sociology, will moderate.

These young women from across the state, ages 15-20, tell stories of past mistakes, violence they committed and the violence committed against them. They show their struggle to heal and change, and report on the condition of their bodies, hearts and minds. They worked with the Women and Gender Studies Program and Clarion VDay members, initiators of the project, to empower self, educate others and stop the violence.
