2022 Consent Event at the Colonial Theatre

Peer Advocates

We strive to educate our community about issues relating to sexual misconduct in an effort to prevent harm on our campus. We aim to provide a safe, inclusive, and judgment-free space for open dialogue about the issues relating to sexual misconduct that affect all of us and our campus as a whole.

Additionally, the group is here to provide support and guidance for any campus member who is dealing with a personal issue of Title IX/Sexual Misconduct. The Peer Advocates hope to be a presence on campus that students can turn to for either general information regarding sexual misconduct or assistance with any part of the reporting process. Through this, we want to see an increase in awareness and less unreported incidents of sexual misconduct at Ursinus.

*Peer Advocates are mandated reporters for incidents of Title IX/Sexual Misconduct.
