@ Hartman Union Building - Fireplace Lounge

Does the media’s idea of the perfect body leave you out of the picture? Do you agree with the statement that “art may imitate life, but life imitates
TV”*?

Put Yourself in the MEdia Film Festival is not your normal film festival. First off, the films being shown will be turning the cameras back towards the media to challenge us to take wrestling, music videos, and fashion ads seriously, even if just for a moment. The films will cover issues ranging from the ‘race to the thinnest’ for female bodies, how the media distorts
reality to dangerous effects, and hyper-masculinity and the growing objectification of men in the media.

Second, you can drop in for 2 hours, 10 minutes, or between classes with a bagel. We’re not going to judge you. Although, feel free to turn a critical eye on the media. The movies that will be shown will show you how to be media savvy even if you only have time for one segment. Get ready to laugh, think, and have your eyes opened to the many messages the media throws your way every day.

@ Hartman Union Building Multipurpose Room

Last April the Myth Busters took on sexual assault and the many misconceptions that surround it. This time around, the Myth Busters are tackling domestic violence, also called interpersonal or dating violence, with the hopes that you will leave empowered by information they’ll present. But who are the Myth Busters? The Myth Busters are a crack team of police officers, counselors, advocates, and medical professionals who all work in different ways to end the cycle of domestic violence that exists in our community. If you’ve ever wondered why some people stay in abusive relationships or what you could do to help a friend you think might be in a bad relationship, then come and meet the Myth Busters.

This event is free and open to anyone. Sponsored by The S.A.G.E. Center.

For more information please contact Erin Creley 535-2387.

@ Hartman Union Building Alumni Green

October is national Domestic Violence Awareness month and the S.A.G.E. Center will be hosting a display of the Clothesline Project to “air out” the truth about domestic violence in our community. The purpose of the Clothesline Project, which is part of a national endeavor, is to increase awareness of the impact of domestic and sexual violence, to celebrate a victim’s strength to survive, and to provide an important avenue for survivors to courageously break the silence. This truly powerful exhibit brings a clearer understanding of the abuse and neglect suffered by women, men, children, and family members on a daily basis within our communities.

The Clothesline Project is a visual display of t-shirts hanging on a clothesline with messages and illustrations that have been designed by survivors of domestic and sexual violence, or by friends and/or family members of survivors. The Clothesline Project may also contain shirts made to honor victims who died as a result of violence.

T-shirt decorating stations will be set up for anyone who would like to create a Clothesline Project t-shirt for future displays.

For more information please contact Erin Creley 535-2387.  This event is open to everyone.
