宾州大学公园. — This 1月uary marks two years since 代表国家, Penn State’s bystander intervention initiative, launched across the Commonwealth. 从那时起, 学生, faculty and staff at the University’s 23 campuses, including World Campus, have been learning how to step in and intervene if they witness concerning situations of sexual and relationship violence.

过去一年, 代表国家 has been working with a variety of groups around the University Park campus to develop the initiative's new topic of intervention around acts of bias and discrimination. They will be officially rolling out this additional topic in 1月uary.

To kick off this new topic, 代表国家 will host an event, “我们的一切,” at Penn State campuses between 1月. 15岁和30岁.

This event is inspired by the viral video “我们分享的一切。." The activity is intended to help build empathy and connection between participants, who respond to a variety of questions that highlight human experiences. Empathy and connection are key pieces in prompting people to intervene in concerning situations. 事件发生后, a short video similar to the one above will be released highlighting all the campuses that participated.

Penn State University Park will hold “我们的一切” from 6-8:30 p.m. 一月星期一. 22, in Schwab Auditorium. 学生, faculty and staff at University Park are welcomed to participate in the event by 发请帖ing at www.standforstate.事业单位.edu.
