Student Government Association will host a bystander intervention training in collaboration with the Counseling Center, Ball State Greek Life and Step in. Speak Up. from 6-7 p.m. Jan. 23 in L.A. Pittenger Student Center 310.
“Sexual assault is a big issue across campus. [SGA is] trying to help students with that,” said Lizzie Ford, SGA secretary. “This could help prevent it by helping students be a good, active bystander and a good friend.”
The panel, lead by doctoral students from the Counseling Center, will train students in small groups.
Ford said IFC members can attend the training and fulfill requirements of the social "pause." The "pause" is in effect until Jan. 31, and IFC members have to attend one training before then.
