Res Consent Project
The Res Consent Project is a student-led team that focuses on educating students about sexual consent, sexual health, and sexualized violence. As university students, we believe that a student's experience at SMU should be fun and exciting, but consent must be the main part of that. We encourage students to engage in activities and conversations about consent and sexual violence prevention. They have organized events such as Sex Positivity Bingo Night, Field Trip to Venus Envy, Consent Panel, Self Care Day, Consent Trivia, and many more others.
