Men's Outreach

In Fall 2020, Kevin Carey, Director of Student Involvement and member of IWU's Sexual Violence Prevention Task Force, will facilitate a six-part series for men on campus. This program will facilitate critical conversations around healthy masculinities, increase college men's knowledge about healthy relationships, and develop action-oriented solutions for addressing sexual violence on college campuses. This program will take form in weekly, hour and half long discussion and activity-based sessions. The cohort of individuals will conclude their time together by hosting an event to promote healthy masculinities and sexual violence prevention on campus. Check back in September 2020 for more information regarding your involvement in this initiative.
