3. Fighting Sexual Misconduct on College Campuses - Film Screening and Panel Discussion
Come learn more about the problem of sexual misconduct on college campuses and what you can do about it! (Flyer attached)

Sexual misconduct is one of the defining issues of our time, and this event will be a good way for you to learn about the issues, two relevant bills in the MA Statehouse, and what you can do to help get them passed:

  *   S.2203, which makes the process for how colleges deal with instances of sexual misconduct better
  *   H.4159, which requires colleges to conduct a campus climate survey to have better data about the problem on their specific campus.

Join us on Thursday, April 5th @ 7:30pm in 4-237 for a screening of “The Hunting Ground”, followed by a panel discussion with:

  *   Leigh-Ana Rossitto from the Interfraternity Council Sexual Misconduct Committee
  *   Alessandra Robinson OR Duane de Four from Violence Prevention and Response (VPR)
  *   Ivy Lee from the Every Voice Coalition advocating for S.2203 and H.4159
  *   Nicole Eigbrett from State Representative Farley-Bouvier’s office, a sponsor of S.2203 and a strong supporter of H.4159

Food will be provided, so please RSVP<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfJ35GVrpFBUZpHWfd5sb1c2SZmyB053_1nsGzVLEbVvlNhIA/viewform> so we know how much food to get.

This event is hosted by the MIT Graduate Student Council (GSC), Graduate Women at MIT (GWAMIT), MIT Interfraternity Council (IFC), and the MIT Panhellenic Association.
