#CUriousAboutConsent Campaign 2023

Most instances of sexual violence on university campuses occurs during the first six weeks of class.

Over the next few weeks, the Carleton University Sexual Assault Support Centre (CUSASC) team will be hosting the annual #CUriousAboutConsent campaign!

It’s an exciting time of year with students gathering, getting to know each other and kicking off the new term. CUSASC will be hosting events highlighting care and support for all students and survivors, such as We Believe You Day in the quad and a craft night in the new space, as well as educational events around consent and sexual violence prevention, such as consent trivia and a Q&A Instagram Live with Planned Parenthood Ottawa. CUSASC will also be highlighting resources and supports available both on and off-campus.
