Due to the renovations in the Union, SAPAC will be moving for the 2018-2019 school year! We will be relocating to the 3rd floor of 330 E. Liberty St. (the Michigan Square Building)! There is a door to the elevator just slightly past the CEW office doors. All of our contact numbers will remain the same. We are excited to continue providing service to the University of Michigan community in our new space!
If you have any questions or concerns about reaching our office, please call our office line at 734-764-7771 and we'd be happy to help.

You are cordially invited to attend SAPAC's 33rd Annual Survivor Share and Speak Out hosted Sunday, November 4th from 6:30-9:00 pm in The League Ballroom.
The purpose of this event is to provide a supportive space for University of Michigan student survivors of sexual assault, intimate partner violence, gender-based and sexual harassment, and stalking to share their personal story and give voice to the complexities, struggles, and triumphs of healing in the wake of sexual violence. We welcome all mediums of expression including stories, reflections, poems, songs, dances, etc. Survivors of all racial, ethnic, religious, gender and social identities are welcome. All members of the campus community are invited to come listen and offer support as survivors are provided a space to use their voice to set their story free.
SAPAC's Raise the Bar program was recently recognized for its work in training Ann Arbor area bar staff in bystander intervention strategies! This article highlights that the goal of the program is to "create a safer, inclusive community," which includes the public places and services that U of M students use. Not only has Raise the Bar trained staff at many popular bars near campus, but also has trained those who interact with students through services like Lyft and Boober Tours. Channel 4 News also prepared a video that presented an overview of the program and included an interview with U of M students and staff from Good Time Charley's!
