Break the Silence is a group of students who volunteer their time to address the issue of sexual violence on campus. Based in the Women's Center, Break the Silence volunteers monitor at 24 hour a day, seven day a week sexual violence peer hotline during the fall and spring semesters**.

All information shared over the hotline is kept confidential, and the identity of the caller is anonymous. In addition to monitoring the hotline, Break the Silence members also provide programming on issues including sexual assault, relationship violence, stalking, and harassment.

Students interested in becoming a member of Break the Silence must complete a selection process that will start in March 2008. The process includes an application, interview, and 30 hours of training during the Fall 2008 semester. If you are interested in becoming a member of Break the Silence, please fill out this application.

Students who want to get involved immediately can do so by joining the Women's Center's Gender and Violence Working group. This group is a great first step in becoming a member of Break the Silence.
