About SAPAC: The Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center offers prevention education for students, confidential support for survivors (students, faculty, and staff), and collaborates with other offices to offer trainings, programs, and innovative community engagement strategies to collectively create a campus free from violence. SAPAC promotes social change and activism on two levels: through the professional services we provide to the University of Michigan community, and through student leadership development wherein students help students as peers. We believe that people of all identities must work together to eradicate sexual assault, stalking, sexual harassment, and intimate partner violence and that this necessitates activism in many areas, including education, advocacy, crisis-intervention, safety-building, bystander intervention, and policy development.

This work includes facilitating peer-to-peer educational workshops, including the Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) program, in partnership with Rackham, to other graduate students on U-M’s campus.
About the Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) Program: The Engendering Respectful Communities Program (ERC) pilot program grew out of a collaboration between Rackham Graduate School, SAPAC, and the Educational Theatre Company. ERC is a one-session workshop (with possibility of follow-up sessions) combining multiple instructional tools to engage graduate students in meaningful dialogue about the various forms of sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment, assault, and discrimination that they may encounter. Participants are then able to build skills on how to intervene safely in potentially harmful situations. ERC workshops make use of the circle process, which focuses on building meaningful connections between participants and ensuring all participants can engage in respectful dialogue. All sessions are facilitated by current graduate students.
