The U.S. Department of Education’s Higher Education Center for Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Violence Prevention featured the University of Michigan and SAPAC in its December 2011 Prevention Update publication. This publication mentions several of SAPAC's collaborative efforts, including summer orientation, the Community Matters online tutorial, and Relationship Remix.

Volunteers from SAPAC’s Peer Education Program and University Health Service’s Sexperteam group will be conducting workshops on relationships, sex, and decision making this fall semester for first-year students in residence halls. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect upon personal values, discuss healthy relationships, and practice skills related to consent. If you have questions about Relationship Remix, please contact relationships@umich.edu

Upon request, SAPAC provides educational programs on sexual violence issues and systems of oppression as they relate to sexual violence for the entire University community: students, staff, and faculty. Programs can be facilitated by SAPAC Peer Educators or professional staff. Training programs for faculty and staff and departments can be designed to fit program needs.
