U Matter Forum

UM SEEKS STUDENT INPUT ON SEXUAL ASSAULT AT ‘U MATTER’ FORUM

Monday February 13 |  5pm - 7pm | UC Ballroom 

Wednesday February 22 | 4pm | UC Theater 

The “U Matter” forum is designed and intended to engage small-group conversation on sexual assault, misconceptions and safety, as well as encourage student involvement in combatting issues discovered through a University investigation on alleged sexual assaults on and off campus. A report on the investigation is online at http://www.umt.edu/president/.

Students attending the forum will break into facilitated discussion groups to talk about the causes of sexual violence, its consequences on individuals, prevention and more. The National Coalition Building Institute of Missoula will facilitate the discussions.

“My hope is that students feel heard and listened to,” said Jenifer Gursky, president of the Associated Students of UM. “The small-group, conversational design for this forum is intended to make students’ input feel welcomed.” 

One of a series of UM-sponsored public forums dedicated to eliminating sexual assault, the “U Matter” forum is a response from University administration to garner student input. 

In addition to NCBI and ASUM, collaborating partners include UM’s Student Assault Resource Center, the Curry Health Center’s Health Enhancement office, the University Center and the Student Affairs office.
