The second workshop, “Cultural Differences in Relationships,” is scheduled for March 21. It will discuss cultural differences and the unspoken language of relationships, including how to communicate your personal boundaries and express consent.
The last workshop, “Keeping Friends Safe” on April 18, presents ways to keep yourself and your friends safe and highlights campus and local resources students can utilize.
