Texas Tech Hosts Week Without Violence Events

The Cross-Cultural Academic Advancement Center and the Women's Studies Program present “Week Without Violence” at Texas Tech University. Week Without Violence is an annual worldwide campaign that takes place during the third week of October to encourage communities to think and act toward a world without violence.

Three forums will be held from noon-1 p.m. Oct. 20-22 in the Teaching, Learning & Professional Development Center (TLPDC) of the University Library.

These forums are designed to highlight accessibility, services and resources from Lubbock and Texas Tech community centers. Each center is committed to offering help, hope and healing to all persons affected by sexual violence. Participants will hear first-hand accounts of personal experiences leading to non-traditional career opportunities.

Program Schedule is as follows:

• Voice of Hope (Lubbock Rape Crisis Center): Noon-1 p.m., Monday (Oct. 20), TLPDC Rm 152; Guest Speaker, Leslie Timmons, Community Educator at Lubbock Rape Crisis Center
• Texas Tech University Student Counseling Center: Noon-1 p.m., Tuesday (Oct. 21), TLPDC Rm 152; Guest Speaker, Ty Stafford, Staff Psychologist, Coordinator of Sexual Assault Services at the Texas Tech Student Counseling Center
