Not an Invitation, Never an Excuse

The local band Awahnichi performs for students

Several clubs and organizations hosted the event entitled “Not an Invitation, Never an Excuse.” They promoted the destruction of social gender boundaries and rape culture. Students walked from table to table learning and responding to different gender stereotypes. Additionally, a local band performed live for all of the people who attended the event.
