“Got Consent” Campaign - “Consent is Sexy” posters and postcards are distributed by the Sexual Violence Advisory Committee to create awareness of consent and that it is necessary before engaging in sex. Sex without consent is sexual assault. The Consent Campaign is a student-developed effort to change the way college students think and talk about intimate activity.  The campaign was created at Columbia University in New York City. Winona State has permission to print the posters and postcards. Posters are hung-up around campus year round and postcards are handed out around Valentine’s Day as a reminder to ask.
