April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Student News | Monday, April 13, 2026

The goal of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) is to raise awareness about sexual violence, educate communities on how to prevent it, and highlight available support and resources.

As members of the Columbus State community, we create our college culture – one person, one decision at a time. Each of us plays an important role in affecting positive change on the Columbus State campus. The Compliance Office works to provide a welcoming, healthy, and respectful learning environment for all students. To learn more about the processes that College uses to address sexual assault and sexual harassment, and to learn more about topics such as consent, risk reduction, bystander intervention, and responding to a disclosure, please visit the Cougars Creating Positive Change webpage.
