The USM Campus Safety Project is a university-wide effort to promote healthy relationships at USM by providing prevention education and response training on sexual harassment, assault, stalking, and relationship abuse for students, faculty, and staff and coordinating campus and community-based programs and services.
Funded through a three-year grant from the Department of Justice via the Violence Against Women Act, the project incorporates both direct service and programming with a broader focus on university-wide policies and procedures.
Clara Porter will be speaking on behalf of the project.  There will be a very short powerpoint overview of the grant and program that will be followed by a discussion of the current legal issues surrounding Interpersonal Violence.

Maine Law 3x3 Dodgeball Tournament: For Maine Law Students, Faculty, and Alumni
Location: Sullivan Gym
Time: Sunday March 27 from 12-3

This is a chance to get everyone out from behind their laptops and have a little fun. Teams will be formed of around 4 to 5 players with at least a 1L, 2L, 3L, and either a faculty member or alumnus on each team. Teams will be randomly picked and you will be advised once they are picked on who your team members are. Real dodgeballs will be used so it does NOT hurt to get hit with them, they are not the rubber balls you played with in elementary school!
To sign up please e-mail Shira.panelli@maine.edu with your name, what year you are in school, and e-mail address as soon as possible so I can get teams set.
Also, e-mail me if you have any questions.
I look forward to seeing everyone on the court!
