Event Description: MiraCosta to Hold Myriad Activities to Mark Sexual Assault Awareness Month April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and the MiraCosta College student club NAMI On Campus (National Alliance on Mental Illness) is hosting several activities to raise awareness of this type of assault. The National Violence Against Women Prevention Research Center at the Medical University of South Carolina estimates that potentially 3.8 million women in the U.S. suffer from rape-related PTSD, many of whom do not speak up due to the stigma associated with it. NAMI is sponsoring these events in an effort to assist those victims who may feel unsupported within our community. Sexual Assault Awareness Rally Faculty and community speakers will provide educational information about sexual assault and the resources available in our community. Keynote speaker at the rally will be Katie Koestner, an international advocate to end sexual violence, and the founder of “Take Back the Night,” an organization aimed at raising awareness and educating academic and corporate institutions about sexual assault. During the rally, College Police will have a trainer on hand who will provide tools and skills for safety on and off campus, and a mental health counselor will be available for consultation throughout the event. The rally will be held April 28, 12:30 a.m.–1:50 p.m. on the Oceanside Campus.
