Presentations
Student Life offers many presentations both virtually and in-person. We require a minimum of 10 attendees in the room unless prior arrangements have been made with our staff. Requesters are responsible for identifying and reserving a location that has a projection screen, computer/lap-top connection, and audio for in-person presentations.
These presentations are NOT indicated for sanctioned student organizations. They are designed for general student audiences. If you have been sanctioned to provide education to your student organization/Greek chapter, and would like Student Life to consider this request, please email our Alcohol and Substance Misuse Prevention unit for more information.
Alcohol: Know the Basics
This presentation provides a detailed overview of the basics of alcohol and responsible drinking behaviors. The key topics covered are designed to ensure participants can make healthy life decisions when choosing to drink. Participants will be able to recognize a standard drink size, calculate BAC, understand alcohol tolerance, identify signs of alcohol poisoning, and be aware of alcohol related legal issues and how to avoid them.
Consent and Alcohol: Do They Mix?
This workshop builds understanding of how alcohol use impacts memory, and how this affects consensual communication required for healthy sexual activity. This workshop uses a series of interactive tools and discussion to reduce commonly held misperceptions about the intersection of alcohol and consent, increase bystander intervention strategies for alcohol-related medical emergencies and drug-facilitated sexual assaults, and enhance knowledge of the resources that exist in our community that respond to sexual assault and addiction.
Recommended for groups that have completed Consent 101 or Alcohol 101.
Consent 101
This workshop provides evidence-based, foundational knowledge of consent and how to practice and communicate this as a part of healthy relationships: A combination of discussion, activities, and videos to help students learn the full definition of consent, how to engage in verbal and non-verbal communication around intimacy, practice boundaries, and be an active bystander when noticing that consent is disrespected.
Healthy Relationships
The purpose of this lesson is to understand the behaviors and actions that define healthy, unhealthy, and abusive relationships. Part of this will be a discussion and part of it will involve working through scenarios in small groups. You also will become familiar with campus and community resources that are designed to support those who are impacted by power-based personal violence.
Interpersonal Violence Prevention 101
This workshop is an introduction to understanding different types of violence and abuse experienced across the lifespan, and the health-related consequences that someone may experience as a result of being directly or indirectly affected by interpersonal violence. Students will identify warning signs of abuse, learn basic bystander intervention and harm-reduction strategies, and acquire information on local, state, and national resources that are designed to support those who are impacted in a trauma-informed way.
In Their Shoes
A revolutionary community education tool, In Their Shoes® is designed for experiential learning about dating violence. Participants become one of six characters based on the experiences of real students including sexting, pregnancy, and stalking. They make choices about their relationship and move through the scenario by reading about interactions with their dating partner, family, friends, counselors, police, and others.
Green Dot Bystander Intervention Training
Green Dot is a violence prevention strategy that teaches skills for preventing forms of power-based personal violence. These skills contribute to a culture at Texas A&M where violence will not be tolerated.
