Denim Day is a national day of action and awareness during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Wearing denim stands in solidarity with survivors and sends a clear message that there is never an excuse, and never an invitation, to harass, abuse, assault, or rape. Student Health Services will be out on campus alongside other campus and community partners to share information and resources related to sexual violence prevention, education, and support.
