SAPAC Posters
In the 1990s, SAPAC produced a series of promotional materials to publicize sexual assault prevention activities on campus to raise awareness and educate the student body. Posters, brochures, handouts, and bookmarks announced multiple SAPAC events, such as the Acquaintance Rape Prevention and Awareness Workshops, Peer Education Programs, and various activities for Sexual Assault Awareness Week and Rape Prevention Month.
These materials offer insight to how SAPAC creatively approached educating University of Michigan students about sexual assault prevention and encouraged the student body to attend its activities. These documents also illustrate how SAPAC expanded its understanding about sexual assault and sexual harassment over the decade through changes in these published materials, which feature shifts in language and approach to addressing sexual assault prevention. In one instance, these materials feature a change in how SAPAC addressed and expanded the identity of sexual assault survivors. Through a transformed language of inclusion, posters moved from focusing on how women are targets of sexual assault from a male perpetrator to including forms of sexual violence between same sex partners and male sexual assault. There is also greater attention over time to how sexual assault affects minority groups on campus, including black and Native American students.
