 While students in the psychology club at Central Lakes College were stationed by the cafeteria all last week in an effort to educate their fellow students on the issue of sexual assault, reporter Rachel Johnson has more. Students at Central Lakes College have been very busy this week busting the mist of sexual assault. We really decided to do sexual assault just because it's seriously like a serious issue. I mean it's really, really common to hear about sexual assault and it's just kind of a lot to just put it off. Members of the CLC psychology club are stationed by the cafeteria all week to talk to students and raise awareness about sexual violence. Kind of ending the misconceptions of that surround sexual assault and it's okay to not be okay. The students wear t-shirts with common myths about sexual assault. Like oh if you weren't wearing those clothes it wouldn't have happened or you should have expected it to happen. But the truth is it happens to everybody anywhere, any race, any clothes that you're wearing. The students in the psychology club are motivated to take this project on after all the recent cases and the media. On the national level the Me Too movement and the Supreme Court nominations it keeps coming up and it keeps coming up but we keep hearing people use and explain it with myths like if she hadn't been dressed that way and she should be able to remember everything. Through psychology we're able to understand our memory is a very reconstructive process and we're able to understand when trauma happens how the hormone cortisol can impact our memory and how the recollection of events is not always a clear cut picture. The club members think it is very important to educate the community especially on college campuses where one in five females will experience a form of sexual assault. It's important to make sure students know and are aware of what's consent, what's known, what's assault, what's harassment and to be safe in the relationships and to know again if something does happen where do I get help and how do I go about handling this. The psychology club hopes that by spreading awareness of sexual assault they can change people's perceptions one myth at a time. Reporting from Brainerd, Rachel Johnson, Lakeland News.
