RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. – In recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month and the #ItsOnUs Spring Week of Action, the Great American Conference released a new public service announcement, recorded by members of the league’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
“I am proud our student-athletes partnered together to create a personalized ‘It’s on Us’ message that resonates within our footprint,” GAC Commissioner Will Prewitt said. “We have the opportunity to lead in the field of reducing sexual assaults across college campuses and I am hopeful this effort will help foster discussion, education at each one of our member institutions.”
The NCAA serves as a national partner of the White House’s It’s On Us campaign, launched by President Barack Obama in fall 2014 to end sexual assault on college campuses. The campaign asks everyone – men and women across America – to make a personal commitment to step off the sidelines and be part of the solution to campus sexual assault.
Student athletes, coaches, athletics administrators and campus partners may visit the official website of the It’s On Us campaign to take the pledge, watch videos, download a toolkit and learn more about the campaign’s many partners.
