Throughout the month of April, Syracuse University raised awareness surrounding sexual assault. More than 10 programs and events brought awareness to campus while highlighting the importance of educational resources and supporting those impacted by sexual and relationship violence.
To help share the message of support, University offices, departments and organizations participated in the month-long Go Teal Decorating Contest. Participants were asked to decorate their on-campus space with the color teal and educational information.
“Decorating campus spaces, in addition to providing programs and events, helps to start conversations surrounding the topic of sexual assault and relationship violence. It also serves as a visual representation of support,” says Michelle Goode, health promotion specialist for sexual and relationship violence prevention in the Office of Health Promotion. “We thank everyone who helped spread awareness and hope that the conversations continue past April.”
Participating spaces were evaluated in the following categories: decorations, creativity, incorporation of the color teal, level of interaction the space provided, and how eye-catching the space appeared. Digitally, participants gained higher scores for promoting their space and receiving the most “likes” on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Contest winners were selected by a panel of student judges.
The 2019 Go Teal Decorating Contest winners were:
Grand Prize
Office of Multicultural Affairs
First Runner-Up
Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs
Honorable Mention
Office of Student Living, South Campus
Most “Liked” Space on Social Media
Office of Multicultural Affairs
