THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904
Elizabeth Dole talks at first leadership lecture series
DARBY VANHOUTAN @darbyvanhoutan
n front of a crowd of nearly 120 people, former U.S. Senator Elizabeth Dole spoke Sunday afternoon about what it's like to be a leader and a woman, and how the two go hand-in-hand.
"I'm used to that," Dole said on being the only woman in the room. "Just doing my own thing and following my star. I advise the young women today to find what you're passionate about. Women are moving forward in massive ways today. I was there on the cutting edge I guess."

"I'm planning to take her words to heart and am excited to see how I can use them in my own life and how I can follow in some of the trails that she blazed," Snitsar said after the event.

Getting consent is easier than it sounds
▶ M'KENNA HARFORD

When it comes to hooking up, students have a lot of options, including one night stands, friends with benefits or long-term relationships. One thing that's not optional, however, is getting consent. Though it can be difficult to navigate the subtle signs, conversations and desires, it doesn't all have to be in the dark.
The Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center website defines consent as someone's freely given agreement to a sexual act. The center stresses that consent should be communicated, enthusiastic, ongoing and mutual.
Meagan Collins, a consent educator at SAPEC, said consent must be given by all parties involved and throughout the experience, but asking doesn't have to be awkward and can, in fact, be sexy.
"People who are good in bed are the people who are
the best at asking for consent and asking questions," Collins said.
Although getting consent is often about asking questions, Collins said students shouldn't be afraid to use statements about their desires during the conversation to facilitate consent.
"If you're saying 'I want to do x' and proceeding without waiting for that person's response, then it's not consensual, but if you're making a statement reading for their cues and
verbal response then that's different," Collins said.
Collins, who has given a Consent 101 workshop to around 2,000 students this year, said her goal is to encourage students to be more comfortable asking questions and communicating desires with their partners.
"It's only awkward because we think it's awkward," she said.
