April 5, 2016

The UAF campus will host multiple activities for students as part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The events begin with a Green Dot Campus Action Challenge.

Green Dot is a violence prevention program that assigns a green dot to any choice a person makes that helps prevent someone from being harmed. The challenge asks students, faculty and staff of UAF to generate 1,917 green dots between April 11-22.

The total is the equivalent of one dot for every seven members of the UAF community. The number commemorates the year UAF was founded.

For more information about how to generate your green dot, visit the Green Dot website.
