Penn President J. Larry Jameson joined the Penn Violence Prevention (PVP) team, University Life colleagues, and students on Locust Walk for the Teal Day of Action, a signature event of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). Dressed in teal, the color symbolizing support for survivors, President Jameson engaged with students and staff, reaffirming the University’s commitment to fostering a campus culture rooted in consent, respect, and survivor support. The event served as a visible call to action, encouraging the Penn community to stand in solidarity against sexual violence and to learn more about the resources available through PVP.
As part of the day’s activities, students and staff distributed teal ribbons, educational materials, and pledge cards, sparking conversations about the importance of bystander intervention and survivor advocacy. President Jameson commended the efforts of PVP and University Life in creating a safer, more supportive environment for all students. His presence underscored the University’s dedication to addressing sexual violence through prevention, education, and advocacy, reinforcing the collective responsibility of the Penn community in fostering a campus free from harm.
