Denim Day is observed worldwide to show support for survivors of sexual violence. It originated after an Italian court overturned a perpetrator’s conviction with the justification that the woman’s jeans were so tight they would have been impossible to remove them without her assistance.
In response, women of the Italian parliament wore jeans to work the following day in solidarity with the survivor and in protest of the ruling, helping spark what has become and international day of awareness and support.
Please join the entire community by wearing jeans, and your ‘Griffs Supporting Griffs’ T-shirt if you have one, on Wednesday, April 29th.

Physical Flyers Update
As we continue to transition to paperless advertising, physical flyers are still permitted, but the number of approved posting locations in the tunnel has decreased. Starting this year there are only 5 approved posting locations throughout the tunnels. In addition, we can also post up to 40 flyers in the residence halls. All flyers must be approved before they are displayed. Bring flyers to the Center for Student Engagement and Leadership Development (Student Center 201) for approval. Our team will take care of hanging up the flyers for you!
