One in every three women and one in every four men will experience relationship violence in their lifetime. Nearly 50 percent of these women and 40 percent of these men experience relationship violence for the first time between ages of 18 to 24.

This workshop is led by the student interns and staff of the Title IX office who had been trained as facilitators for this event. The workshop is a special part of the One Love Foundation.

In the time oftypewriters and pagers, Susan Kashack was creating a Sonoma State University community that will forever follow her legacy. Kashack started her journey 32 years ago at Sonoma State. She chose to spend her undergraduate years as a communications major.
