The Office of Gender Violence Education and Support is currently recruiting new Advocates. The Gender Violence Support Advocates (Advocates) Program is a network of dedicated and compassionate staff and faculty volunteers who are trained to assist students who are impacted by sexual assault, intimate partner abuse, stalking, sexual exploitation, and sexual harassment. In their role, Advocates provide initial support and referrals to campus and community resources and reporting options and then help students navigate all their options.
Serving as an Advocate requires, among other responsibilities, an initial 10 hour training, monthly meetings, being on-call, and attending campus gender violence prevention events.
If you are interested in serving as an Advocate, please contact Dr. Brooke DeSipio, Director of the office of Gender Violence Education and Support at bed4@lehigh.edu to learn more about the position.
Donating blood is always important but it is especially important during a pandemic.
The Community Service Office, in partnership with Miller Keystone Blood Center, will be hosting a blood drive on both Thursday 4 / 8 / 2021 and Friday 4 / 9 / 2021 at the UC flagpole on Memorial Drive West from 10am-6pm. This will be a mobile drive.
URGENT NEED: Due to "stay at home" restrictions and "social distancing" recommendations, very few blood drives will be held in the foreseeable future. The need for blood never ends, but the supply can. There are patients who deserately need blood routinely and the only source is the volunteer blood donor.
Many provision will be put in place to ensure the safety of donors.
Appointment required. Masks required.
