The Gender & Women’s Studies Program and Hope Harbor will present First Things First: Your Story, Your Words on Wednesday, April 15, at 5 p.m. in the Gordon Wilson Hall Lab Theatre. 

This Sexual Assault Prevention Month event will feature creative writers showcasing their talents via spoken word, creative nonfiction essays, and other works which highlight issues surrounding sexual assault awareness & prevention, domestic violence, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, and more.

Featured writers may include WKU faculty, alumni/community members, and current WKU students. A Hope Harbor representative will be in attendance to speak about the services they offer to the community for those affected by sexual trauma.

This event is free to attend, however, we will also be accepting optional donations at the door to support Hope Harbor. Any contribution, big or small, is greatly appreciated!
