THE OWA EMPOWERMENT PROJECT PRESENTS:
Savant
Savant peer educators are a diverse group of undergraduate and graduate students, who have been trained by faculty and community experts to raise awareness about empowerment, gender equity, ethical living and social justice. Savants (as we call our educators) strive to equip their peers with the knowledge of recognizing, intervening in and preventing incivility, relationship violence, sexual assault, all forms of discrimination, and unethical practices in our university community and beyond. Animated by the core themes of integrity, respect, excellence, self-worth, civic engagement, ethics and social-cum-personal responsibility, Savants are aspiring scientists, artists and humanists, among others, whose educational messages are relevant to all classroom settings, disciplines and course topics.
Using an interactive format that encourages exploration, dialogue and debate, Savant presentations emphasize the latest relevant research in ways that are accessible to students. Each presentation includes an opportunity for anonymous feedback so that OWA can assess the quality and impact of our educational programming. The programs are targeted broadly to reach undergraduate as well as graduate students, faculty, staff and administrators. Savant offers workshops created for Indiana University classroom settings, residence halls, Greek houses, and other social organizations.
Meanwhile, Savant presentations are free of charge, but slots are limited. Therefore, we encourage you to schedule presentations today by e-mailing us at lcmccamm@indiana.edu. Simply provide the date, class time and desired length of presentation. Linda McCammon, our Director of Administration, will schedule the appointments. We look forward to hearing from you.
