RSU to Observe ‘Denim Day 2025’ April 30 to Support Survivors of Sexual Violence

RSU students, staff and faculty are invited to show their support for survivors of all forms of sexual violence by wearing jeans Wednesday, April 30, in observance of Denim Day 2025. Taking place on the last Wednesday of April, which is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Denim Day is a day of action and awareness in which people are encouraged to wear denim to combat victim blaming and educate others about sexual violence.

The RSU Office of Student Affairs will set up a booth in the rotunda of the Dr. Carolyn Taylor Center during the day, handing out information, stickers, and more to raise awareness of sexual violence and to combat victim blaming.

At 3 p.m., there will be a photo taken of event attendees (wearing denim) on the stairs of the DCTC rotunda. Immediately following the photo, RSU Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Jeana Rae Conn will host a small workshop in Conference Room A of the DCTC with a presentation of what Denim Day is for those who are interested.

RSU Libraries invites you to contribute your original creative works to our fifth annual Creative Showcase, which will kick off with an Open House Monday, April 14, at 6 p.m., and remain on display through Sunday, April 27. This year's theme is "Echoes of Transformation: The Journey of Identity & Belonging (or Not)."

This year's showcase centers around the inevitability of change both in ourselves and the world around us. We ask this year's participants to reflect on the journey of change and explore how transformation shapes who we are and where we fit, or don't. As always, this event aims to highlight the talents, voices, and contributions of our Hillcat community through a multimedia display located in the Stratton Taylor Library on the Claremore campus.
