Conference Overview

The NC State University Counseling Center is proud to partner with Chrysalis Network to bring the Solving the Campus Sexual Assault & Dating Violence Puzzle Conference to NC State. Campuses nationally are continuing to work hard to meet and exceed federal requirements around sexual and dating violence prevention and response. As the national lens on these issues has brought much needed advocacy, investigation, and prevention programs to campuses, it has also created compliance-driven campuses versus those focused on being proactive and doing what’s right. This year’s conference strives to re-commit us to this work, remind us that this work is vital for the health and success of our campus communities whether there are regulations in place or not, and provide participants with tangible strategies and effective approaches to campus advocacy, prevention, and investigations. Main themes will focus on the good and bad of social media, perpetrator sanctioning, what is required to engage men – for real, and the role of advocates in the current climate.

This conference is intended to create a thoughtful and intentional space for campuses and community agencies to showcase their programs, and work together to solve the challenging puzzle of responding to and preventing all forms of sexual and dating violence on college campuses.

Speak About It

Speak About It does what many people in the violence prevention field previously thought was impossible: it combines humor, healthy sexuality, and consent in a nuanced and entertaining way while treating the issue of sexual violence with respect and sensitivity,” says Cara Corschene from the Maine Coalition Against Sexual Assault about the show. Speak About It is a performance that focuses on consent, boundaries, alcohol, and healthy relationships, and is intended for high school or college audiences. Using a combination of humorous yet provocative skits, interactive dialogue, and powerful, true monologues, the show empowers and educates students to have a dialogue about sex and sexual violence and to create and sustain change on their campuses.

There’s a nice coffee shop, Jubala, on the first floor of ALOFT if you want to grab a cup before the bus comes.

Parking Options
1) PRE-PAY ONLINE (recommended): You should have already received a link to pre-pay for $5/day. Don’t forget to print out your pass (it’s a 2 day pass unless you specifically requested a 1 day pass). You will park in this lot:

Oval West Parking Deck (6 minute walk to Hunt Library)
914 Partners Way
Raleigh, NC 27606

Here it is on a campus map: http://maps.ncsu.edu/#/buildings/pc1

2) PAY ON-SITE: If you do not end up prepaying for this pass – you can still park on-site at a pay lot. However it will cost $10/day. On-site parking is limited, so it is best to pre-pay if possible. But don’t worry! We will make sure you can park. We will have people outside ready to help! If you choose to pay on site, here are the two lots you can use:

Poulton Pay Lot (CLOSEST – 1 minute walk to Hunt Library) – VERY few spaces
Partners Way Deck Pay (8 minute walk to Hunt Library)

Airport

The closest airport to the conference is Raleigh-Durham International (RDU). It is an easy 15-20 minute drive to the ALOFT and DoubleTree hotels.
