Sexual Assault Awareness Month

April is National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month and we're honoring those affected by sexual assault and violence with a month full of educational events and programming. We are calling on all CSU community members, local organizations and institutions to change ourselves and the systems surrounding us to build racial equity and respect.
