Please join us for this important presentation to help address this problem. Jennifer Rose is the Gender Equity Specialist at UH and since 2004, has taught the Family Law Clinic at the William S. Richardson School of Law, where she focuses on domestic violence and civil issues. Jenn will update us on campus sexual assault issues, with a focus on a college’s duties for preventing and acting on sexual assault under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. She will discuss strategies for addressing this epidemic on our college campuses. If your daughter or friend is at college or planning for college, this information could save her life and sanity. This effort will not succeed if we just leave it to the colleges to protect women; that strategy has been tried for decades and failed. There is much we can do to understand these risks, prevent assaults and be effective advocates for safer campuses.
Join us on Wednesday, June 25 at Noon. Invite a friend or colleague - the more, the merrier! Please respond to rosep@ahfi.com by Friday, June 20 if possible, to let us know you are coming. We will meet at the Plaza Club, 20th Floor, 900 Fort Street Mall. The in-room lunch buffet with salad, soup, sandwich and desert costs $22 (tea/drink is another $4-$5). If you are an HWL member, mention that in your RSVP and you will be entered in a drawing for two free lunches for HWL members. If you need to cancel an RSVP, please do so ASAP, before the stated deadline, so we don't get charged for your meal!
