[UA] It's On Us Fair and Lean On Me Launch

[Tamar N Weseley]

Dear Undergraduates,

We have two exciting launches to announce this week!

The It’s On Us Informational Fair will be taking place on Wednesday 2/3, from 11:30am - 2:30pm in the Bush Room.
Lean On Me, an anonymous peer support network through text, will be launching tomorrow. 

Please see below for additional information. We encourage you to attend the It’s On Us fair for information and resources, and to look into Lean On Me as a new student-lead support service on campus.

Additionally, through the Resilience Project, we are continuing to share Stories and Portraits of Resilience in The Tech. Sally Lee’s inspiring story, shared last week, can be read here <http://tech.mit.edu/V135/N38/resilience.html>.  If you are interested in participating, contact us at ResilienceProject at mit.edu.

Hope you have a wonderful first day of Spring Semester!

Best,
Tamar Weseley and Alice Zielinski
UA Student Support and Wellness Co-Chairs


It’s On Us Informational Fair
Wednesday 2/3 from 11:30am - 2:30pm in the Bush Room
February is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. To kick it off there will be an It's On Us informational fair with **lunch and free swag** included! The fair is organized by VPR and student activists and will be hosted by a mixture of undergrad and grad student organizations, along with various MIT support resources. 

We encourage you to stop by to learn more about resources at MIT, ways to get involved, and information about Sexual Assault, Intimate Partner Violence, Stalking, and Sexual Harassment. It's On Us!
