CARE coordinator to provide support
ROCHELLE VALVERDE
@RochelleVerde
In a new job created at the University, longtime victim's advocate Sarah Jane Russell will provide support for sexual assault victims as a Campus Assistance, Resource and Education (CARE) coordinator. Russell described the job as coming full-circle. She said she was raped by an acquaintance when she was a KU student in 1972. The attack led her to pursue a career in victim advocacy and support. Russell was the executive director of the GaDuGi SafeCenter in Lawrence from 1987-2013. This week, she started as the CARE coordinator at the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity. Russell was interviewed by Rochelle Valverde for the Kansan. Following are excerpts from the interview:
explained by the acronym. The intent is not to duplicate any services that already exist. The intent is to find the way, using campus assistance, resource and education. So, the way I explained it in my head is that it would be a bridge builder. Perhaps working to extend services to students in ways that haven't happened before. Those are yet to be defined, but I think a bridge builder is a good way to think about it
Sarah Jane Russell began her job as the new CARE coordinator at the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity last week.
Kansan: As the CARE coordinator, what roles will you play?
Sarah Jane Russell: It is an innovative position. It came about because of the interest of the students and their activism. The role is really

... I want to play a role in addressing the culture and the climate of the University. I think to not have an honest discussion that there is a rape culture that exists here ... would be an immature discussion."

In all cases, most important is that students, staff, faculty and parents feel supported in case something happens.
builder, what are some of the resources you're hoping to connect?
SJR: Well, certainly all the community resources: GaDuGi SafeCenter, Willow Domestic Violence Center, Student Affairs, the IOA office, office of the District Attorney and the KU Public Safety Office. I was interested to read this weekend that Haskell Indian Nations University is trying to figure out how Title IX looks on their campus.
Kansan: When you say bridge
IX looks on their campus. So certainly reaching out to Haskell.
Kansan: What did you study in college?
[Also] just being in the community. My hope is that I can come to residence halls, sometimes at 10 at night, just to say hello and let people know that I'm there. I don't see this as a behind the desk, 8-to-5 job. But certainly, there are already 24/7 services being offered by community agencies that have strong ties to the University. Both GaDuGi and Willow receive Student Senate funding.
SJR: I had this undergraduate degree in speech communications and human
relations, which at the time I remember people sort of laughing at that degree. That was a real serious degree. We had 24-hour lockdowns where as a group of students we stayed together for 24 hours and it was almost like a marathon support group. We learned to facilitate groups and we just learned about working with people. Being one of those people that needed working with, experiencing both sides of that, I think was probably the best foundation I could have received. Then I have
a master's degree in applied behavioral science.

Kansan: What led you to choose this career?
ant: The activism of the early 70s, both at the University and nationwide, set a framework. While I was a student at KU, a stranger jumped out from behind a bush and raped a student on campus and there was no formal response. There was a group of people who said

Advisory Board will also have an opportunity for attendees to make stress balls out of balloons and flour, Straughn said. As an opportunity for students to take a study break, there will also be a super-sized game of Twister in the central court of the museum.
Finally, the museum will be offering a chance for students to tour the galleries with a guide or individually. Experiencing all the art can be beneficial, Straughn said.
"You get to wander around and see things that you might not get to see during the day," Elliott said. "[The Spencer] is such a creative and invigorating place."

said. "We will be presenting to other teachers that have been in their profession for years when we haven't even started. Not a lot of undergrad students get that professionalism."
Walters is part of a committee presenting at the conference that will focus specifically on World War I.
Since the beginning of the year, KUCSS has also been collaborating with the Dole Institute of Politics in preparation for the conference.
"We have been working one-on-one with Dole to use their materials," said senior Alyssa Willhite, vice president of the group. "This committee will present lesson plans that revolve around bipartisanship."
In addition to the
presentation of these committees, KUCSS has been asked to assist others in preparing their own presentations and creating individual councils at other schools around the country, as some colleges do not have their own.
"Along with the other colleges that have their own councils, we will be sharing
what methods we've used, what we've done, how we've worked with teachers, and how they can form their own council," Walters said
