Why Puzzles?
Yes, there are a ton of conferences out there – what makes this one so special you ask???
Here are our top 5 reasons:
- ACCESSIBLE: A national conference at 1/3 of the cost plus no travel fees. All sessions are recorded so you can watch live and/or at your own pace for 3 months post-conference.
- CONTENT: Focuses entirely on college SA/DV. All presenters are required to incorporate self-care and intersectionality into their sessions.
- PRESENTERS: We bring in headliners, but also spotlight local rock stars; we want the folks who DO the actual work.
- INCENTIVES: As an incentive to network with other participants, play morning games, and to visit our sponsor exhibitor booths, we will award multiple cash prizes per day. Winners will get cash Venmo’d straight to them!
- COMMUNITY: Puzzles is centered on the importance of building relationships and community. Our plentiful and hard-working team strives to create a personalized, connected, supportive, and welcoming conference experience tailored to you. Even though we are virtual, we believe you will continue to feel our personal connection!

The NC State Counseling Center is proud to partner with the Chrysalis Network to bring the “Solving the Campus Sexual Assault & Dating Violence Puzzle” conference again this year. The Counseling Center is dedicated to being a part of the solution when it comes to sexual assault and interpersonal violence. We recognize the impact these traumatic experiences have on survivors, their friends and family, the campus and larger community as a whole. We also know that there is a stigma regarding what it means to be a survivor of sexual assault and interpersonal violence. With this stigma, survivors can feel unseen, unheard and unsupported. We understand how much courage it takes to reach out. We strive to “Stop the Stigma” and want survivors to know that we see you, we hear you and we are here to support you.

The NC State University Women’s Center is proud to co-host the Puzzles Conference this year. At the Women’s Center, we foster a sense of community and belonging through intentional programming and services focused on supporting student success and retention. Through our high-impact practices centered on gender and interpersonal violence prevention and response, all students – regardless of gender identity – expand their knowledge base, enhance their leadership skills, and explore opportunities for personal and professional growth and well-being, including receiving the affirming support and resources necessary to thrive at NC State. As part of this effort, we are committed to providing space for healing and recovery for individuals impacted by interpersonal violence.
