Sexual Assault Response Team (SART)

The Sexual Assault Response Team is dedicated to raising awareness about sexual assault issues in the Georgia Southern Community. It is our hope, that through education and consciousness raising, the incidence and ignorance of sexual assault can be drastically reduced. SART strives to continually update the services offered to sexual assault survivors. Our goal is to communicate to survivors that they are not alone through their recovery. SART sponsors the student organization, Sexual Assault Prevention Advocates (SAPA).

In recent years SART has become actively involved in Sexual Assault Awareness Programming on the national level. SART has been recognized for its outstanding breadth of activities at conferences and by well-known activitists. In 2007, SART founded the Georgia College Sexual Assault Association Network to coordinate efforts throughout the state for legislative reform regarding sexually violent crimes.

If you are interested in joining SART, please contact Dr. Jodi Caldwell at 912.478.5541, or jodic@georgiasouthern.edu. For presentation requests, please contact Angela Ogburn at aogburn@georgiasouthern.edu.

"I've come to believe that rape survivors are encouraged to keep their long silence by a kind of societal magic thinking. 'If we aren't talking about it, maybe it isn't happening.'"
