It marks the end of the Week of Action, which MSU, along with hundreds of other campuses across the nation, participated in to recognize April as National Sexual Assault Awareness month.
Thursday night marks another event during the Week of Action: Steve Thompson, Aggression Services Director at Central Michigan University, will discuss "survivor behavior, who sex predators are, how they assault, and what we as individuals and a community can do to make the changes we need to see," according to the event's Facebook page.
It will take place from 5 to 6 p.m. in Wells Hall, room B117.
Here's a look back at the events It's On Us MSU, the Residence Halls Association, the MSU Sexual Assault Program and the Associated Students of Michigan State University sponsored during the week.
