As part of the Consent Peer Education Program (CPEP) and Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity's Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) programming in April 2021, students, staff, and faculty are encouraged to participate in our SAAM Challenge*! Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in April, a prompt will be provided on the Peer Wellness Instagram and through the Humber Communique to encourage people to take an action in recognition of SAAM; you can also view the prompts below. Participants who share a photo addressing the prompt by emailing it to cpep@humber.ca will be entered into a raffle to win a $150 gift card; all entries must be submitted by Monday, May 3rd at 12pm to be eligible for the prize!
