Approximately, 1.9 million women are physically assaulted each year in the United States, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. That’s one woman every 15 seconds.
Jan Grossnickle, sexual assault program coordinator at the Council on Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence (CSADV) in Sioux City will be the featured presenter when Morningside College hosts a program on sexual assault prevention and awareness on Monday, Sept. 18, at 7 p.m. in Roadman Formal Lounge, 3600 Peters Avenue.
The public is invited to the free event, which is sponsored by Morningside’s Academic and Cultural Arts Series (ACAS).
