Reality: What They Don't Teach You in College

This handbook is a collaborative student project researched and complied by students of WST 101: Introduction to Women's Studies in the Fall of 2004. From reading and studying women's issues, the students applied what they learned to what they felt deeply concerned about: sexual assault and college women. They created this information handbook, believing that it will benefit both men and women and wanted to share the information with not only all students at Alma College but also all other people who care about violence against women. The handbook compliments the existing Alma College Quick Guide to Policies, Procedures, and Plans handbook. Women�s Studies Program is proud to make it possible to print out the handbook from its website.
