In recognition of Stalking Awareness Month, the student group, Promoting Awareness Victim Empowerment is holding a series of events between Feb. 6 and Feb. 28.
The first event took place Monday, as PAVE held a workshop to explain how stalkers use technology to pursue victims on campus.
To further illustrate how perpetrators use technology for stalking, the group is conducting a Facebook scavenger hunt from Feb. 6 to Feb. 10.
The group will create a fake account named “Alex Paverson” and will post updates about where members are on campus. The first people to reach the mentioned location will receive a prize, such as free food and gift cards.
Other events include screening a film on Feb. 13 about an abusive relationship titled “Fear,” and holding an expert panel on Feb. 22 explaining how stalking happens on campus and the legal actions that correspond with it.
