Note: venue and time have changed due to tornado warning! (see below)

Students pressing for more aggressive college responses to sexual assault will gather at Morehouse College today.

Survivors will share their experiences in pressing for stronger sexual assault prevention, according to the National Leadership Institute, which pushes for campus plans to prevent sexual assault.

Students from Georgia Tech, Georgia State University and colleges and universities from nearby states are expected to participate.

Information: The time has been moved up to 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. due to the tornado warning. The location has been changed, too. It is now at Sale Hall Chapel, at Morehouse, 830 Westview Dr. SW. (The event originally scheduled for 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Morehouse's Ray Charles Center, is about an 8 minute walk away. To get to the new venue from there, head east two blocks then turn left and go north one block.)
