Schedule of events

Clothesline Project

Clothesline Project

The Clothesline Project, started on Cape Cod, MA in 1990. It is a vehicle for those affected by sexual violence to express their emotions by decorating a plain shirt. The shirt is then hung on a clothesline to be viewed by others as testimony to the problem of sexual and relationship violence. This is an opportunity for survivors of sexual and interpersonal violence to share their experience and allow all those impacted by it to speak out in a creative and supportive space.

Anyone may create a shirt for the Clothesline Project. Allies of those affected by sexual/interpersonal violence are highly encouraged to participate and create a shirt for the display as well.

Clothesline Project Interactive Exhibition
Visit the Wellness Center, Office of Multicultural Learning, Malley Center, and Benson Memorial Center throughout the month of April to view the stories of past Broncos

Decompression and Respite, Wellness Center 

  • Monday, April 22nd, 6:00 P.M-8:00 PM, The Wellness Center

This community time, like in past years, will provide space for people to come together to honor, process and heal from experiences of sexual/interpersonal harm. This is intentional space to speak into any of the emotions (mind & body sensations) that came up for people during Slut Walk. It is a time to connect and feel the truth, that we are not alone in this. Experiences of sexual/interpersonal harm often create an internal "othering" and isolation. This time together is meant to do the opposite. Whether you choose to speak into the space or take part in self-care activities, this space is for you.

 

Denim Day

  • Wednesday, April 24th

The Denim Day campaign is observed worldwide by millions of people. As the longest-running sexual violence prevention and education campaign, Denim Day asks people to wear jeans as a visible way to highlight misconceptions surrounding sexual violence.
