Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you today about the prevention of sexual violence on college campuses. It is an honor to join White House Advisor on Violence Against Women, Caroline Bettinger-Lopez on this panel.

Happy Valentine's Day ACPA!

Over the last several months, I have been speaking on campuses and conferences about creating cultures of advocacy in which delineated rights are not abstractions, but realities. 

This is a deep challenge for our member institutions and it is no less so for our Association.  I have become convicted that our failure to defeat white supremacy and racism within the Academy is at the root of many of our current challenges.
