Project AWAKEN is dedicated to the belief that no one should experience sexual assault, domestic/dating violence, or stalking. AWAKEN works to eliminate violence from happening, to train bystanders on active interventions, to improve professional responses to survivors on campus and in the community, and to serve as an empowering, confidential resource for survivors.
Be sure to check out Project AWAKEN’s newest newsletter, which is now available at https://www.tntech.edu/awaken/newsletters.php. It’s on all of us to prevent violence from happening and to support survivors!
