Buffalo State College will present "He Said, She Said," a sexual assault awareness program at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 13, at the Buckham Campus School Auditorium (Campus West) at the college at 1300 Elmwood Avenue.

Designed to provide college students with the information necessary to make sound decisions to avoid sexual assault situations, the interactive program will be facilitated by nationally recognized speakers Katie Koestner and Brett Sokolow, each of whom will approach the topic of sexual assault from a different angle.

Koestner, an outspoken survivor of a college date rape, will speak to the emotional impact of a sexual assault; Sokolow, a higher education attorney, will give the audience an opportunity to think critically about sexual assault through an interactive exercise in which they hear a difficult sexual assault case as if they were a jury.

The program, free of charge and open to the public, is sponsored by the Auxiliary Grant Services Committee, United Student Government, Community Relations Committee, the Buffalo State Inter-Greek Association and Weigel Health Center. Although registration is not required, seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
