Alaska Nanooks participate in It's On Us campaign
April 19, 2018
Alaska Nanooks student-athletes are speaking out against sexual assault through the
It’s On Us campaign to end sexual assault.
The UAF campaign features student-athletes from each of Alaska’s 10 varsity sports. The effort was
organized by Alaska Nanooks cross country runner and Nordic skier Sarissa Lammers,
who serves on the National Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
Begun in 2014, It’s On Us is a national campaign to end sexual assault through the
creation of local and nationwide awareness of sexual violence and engagement in prevention
efforts. Campaign participants pledge to “commit to helping create a culture of consent,
bystander intervention and survivor support” as it relates to sexual assault.
Student-Athlete Advisory Committees in collegiate athletics departments all across
the U.S. are taking part in the It’s On Us campaign as part of Sexual Assault Awareness
Month, which is observed in April.
