As we continue to work through a significant volume of work orders and projects in Administrative Programming, I want to take an opportunity to remind you of some procedures that will help all of us work as effectively as possible. If you have a smaller programming request, please send those requests to adminprog@alfred.edu. Please do not send those initial programming requests directly to a specific programmer. This will allow us to route your request to a programmer who can best handle your request.
Also, if you have a larger request that you envision will require weeks (or even months) of concentrated programming time, please send those to myself <roberts@alfred.edu>. Projects and larger requests require a conversation about prioritization.
Thank you for continued support and assistance,
Cheers and Fiat Lux!

April 2024 marks the official 23rd anniversary of NSVRC's Sexual Assault Awareness Month - but did you know we can trace its history even longer?
Even before its official declaration, SAAM was about both awareness and prevention of sexual assault, harassment, and abuse. Looking at the history of the movement to end sexual violence, it's clear why: It's impossible to prevent an issue no one knows about, and it's difficult to make people aware of a problem without providing a solution. The two work in tandem, and they always have. From the civil rights movement to the founding of the first rape crisis centers to national legislation and beyond, the roots of SAAM run deep.
Roots of the Movement
As long as there have been people who care about making the world a better place, there have been individuals advocating for sexual assault prevention. In the United States, movements for social change and equality began to gain traction in the 1940s and 50s with the civil rights era. Although open discussion of the realities of sexual assault and domestic violence were limited at these times, activists for equal rights began to challenge the status quo.
Efforts during this time were championed by Black women and women of color. Advocates like Rosa Parks worked at the intersections of race-based and gender-based violence (a framework that years later in 1989, advocate and professor Kimberlé Crenshaw would call "intersectionality").
Wide social activism around the issue of sexual assault continued into the 1970s, bringing with it support for survivors and heightened awareness. The first rape crisis center was founded in San Francisco in 1971, the same city where the first U.S. Take Back the Night event was held seven years later.
In the early 2000s, the primary goal of SAAM was awareness - both raising visibility of the teal ribbon and the meaning behind it. By the mid-2000s, SAAM incorporated prevention more heavily, focusing on areas such as communities, workplaces, and college campuses. These campaigns discussed ways that individuals and communities can stop sexual assault before it happens by changing behaviors and promoting respect.
These two goals of awareness and prevention carried over into the 2010s, laying the groundwork for the SAAM that we see today. While each campaign has a different theme, they all share same common goals: to raise visibility about sexual assault and share how it can be prevented, whether that's through education about healthy sexuality, consent, or bystander intervention.
Please join the AU Title IX and Bias Response Team, Public Safety, Wellness Center, and the Confidential Victims Advocate to find out valuable resources and information.
Monday April 1, 2024 in Ade from 11:30-2:00 pm.
Thursday April 18, 2024 in the Powell Campus Center Knight Club from 2:00-6:00 pm. Additional information located on AU Connect.
Tuesday April 23, 2024 in the Herrick Library Bookend 11:30-2:00 pm.
