Program Abstract:
While most institutions of higher education provide sexual assault prevention programming to domestic students, there is also a need to provide separate culturally competent sexual assault prevention programming to international students. Providing sexual assault prevention programming brings its unique challenges in ensuring cultural competency and being understood by non-native English speaking students who may have limited English competency. This presentation will address the importance of providing culturally competent sexual assault prevention programming to international students.
