It’s On Us Comes to Dickinson

It’s On Us, a leading organization in the fight against sexual violence on college campuses, will host a Regional Student Summit at Dickinson College on Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023. At this all-day convention of student activists and campus organizers, students from Pennsylvania and the Northeast will learn to network, educate and empower the next generation of leaders. In particular, this work will focus on engaging young men in campus sexual assault prevention, focusing on It’s On Us’s groundbreaking research on empowering college men and student-athletes.   

"Dickinson is an inclusive and welcoming community, and we are resolute in our commitment to preventing sexual and gender-based discrimination, harassment and violence,” says President John E. Jones ’77, P’11. “We must all work tirelessly to uphold our values."

The It’s On Us National Regional Leadership Summit will provide student leaders with immersive breakout sessions, masterclass speakers and networking opportunities, as well as an exclusive preview of It’s On Us’s core trainings to equip students with insights into prevention organizing and actionable strategies for driving meaningful change.  

It’s On Us will continue working with students throughout the school year and will announce groundbreaking research on how to best engage college men in campus sexual assault prevention.  

The It’s On Us program was launched in 2014 through the White House Task Force to Prevent Sexual Assault. Since then, the initiative has grown into the nation’s largest nonprofit program dedicated to college sexual assault prevention and survivor support.

Students are invited to register for the event by Tuesday, Sept. 19.
