Background Information for RAs: PACT5 is a national movement to end sexual assault on college campuses started by students and faculty from five universities: Rowan University, California State University at Northridge, Western State Colorado University, Northern Illinois University, and Framingham State University. Each institution is creating student-produced documentaries and partnering with the Clery Center for Security On Campus to distribute them, for free, to other institutions and individuals. PACT5 wants other institutions, student groups, other organizations, and individuals to join them in making the PACT (included within these bulletin board materials.) The documentaries and discussion guides will be available for you to use during National Campus Safety Awareness Month and throughout the year. For more information, visit www.makethepact.org.

About 1 in 5 women are victims of completed or attempted sexual assault while in college • Less than 5% of campus sexual assaults are reported to law enforcement • A large majority of victims are victimized by someone they know and trust, rather than strangers CHRISTOPHER P.

Because I play an important role in my campus community… And my actions matter.
The PACT
I am aware that sexual assault can happen to anyone at any time.
I will always be sure of genuine consent before any sexual activity.
I will take action if I see a situation that could lead to sexual assault.
