UMaine’s Safe Campus Project Joins State Coalition
The University of Maine Safe Campus Project has become a full member of the Maine Coalition Against Sexual Assault, and Safe Campus Project coordinator Carey Nason has joined the coalition’s board of directors.
For more than 30 years, the Maine Coalition Against Sexual Assault (MECASA) has represented and served Maine’s sexual violence service providers. MECASA works toward ending sexual violence by providing public policy advocacy, assistance to Maine’s sexual violence service providers, public awareness and prevention activities and statewide training.
“We are delighted that Safe Campus has joined the Maine Coalition Against Sexual Assault,” says Elizabeth Ward Saxl, coalition executive director. “Given the high prevalence of sexual violence that occurs on college campuses across Maine, it’s an important step. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to engage more fully with such a key campus organization.”
Safe Campus, which was founded at the University in 2001, provides information and resources about safety in relationships and focuses on positive, pro-active ways to promote safe and healthy relationships.
