HOW MANY OF THEM ARE THERE? Answer: Roughly 900-1000 students. WHY ME? Answer: Because you are awesome! WHEN IS IT? The session is Wednesday, September 25th from 3-5pm PST. WHAT IS THIS SESSION FOR? Every year during our orientation week (SundaySunday before the first week of classes) our school hosts a series of mandatory speakers and events for new incoming students. This year, we decided to switch it up a bit! In addition to your presentation, we will be using this opportunity for students to learn about stalking via a vignette created by our WOU Campus Against Sexual Assault grant folks, put a face to resource offices on campus (more about that later) and learn how they can be Green Dots at WOU.
