Sticker campaign

In the fall of 2003, CCW members, along with the University R.A.P.E. Center and the Department of Public Safety, collaborated on the development and production of a sticker campaign to educate the campus about personal safety and sexual assault, and to promote the services of the 24-hour University R.A.P.E. Center. In all, over 1,200 stickers were placed on all bathroom stalls in the residence halls and academic buildings. The group developed a series of 8 different informational and educational stickers; 3 contained information specific to the University R.A.P.E. Center and 5 contained various safety tips and emergency contact information.

The idea for this project came about because there were old stickers for the University R.A.P.E. Center on the bathroom stalls that were either written on or peeling off because of their age. The University R.A.P.E. Center falls under the Student Affairs division, and Student Affairs agreed to fund this project for CCW. We feel the project was a success. Staff members and students have commented positively on the stickers. The University R.A.P.E. Center has been contacted a few times because staff and student members have found a couple bathroom stalls that were accidentally missed. This tells us they are looking out for them.
