CE offers immediate media access to Zero Shades\u00ae Facilitators and convenes local higher education professionals to turn concern into campus action.<\/strong><\/p>\n

EASTON, Pa. <\/strong>Renewed attention to the Cornell Seven and Jane Doe sexual assault allegation case raises an urgent local question: What can our colleges do now to help prevent sexual assault, support students, and respond when concerns arise? <\/strong>Collegiate Empowerment (CE), an Easton-based nonprofit educational production company, is responding with immediate access to Zero Shades\u00ae Facilitators as sources for media coverage and a November 6 gathering focused on collaboration and campus solutions.<\/p>\n

Since 1995, CE\u2019s educational programs have reached more than 3 million students across over 3,000 colleges<\/strong>. CE brings more than 30 years of higher education experience <\/strong>and has offered consent and sexual assault prevention education through its Zero Shades\u00ae trilogy since 2013.<\/p>\n

The Zero Shades approach empowers students to say no because of a deeper, burning yes to their values, well-being, and campus culture. CE empowers students and educators alike to advocate for consent, respect for boundaries, peer support, and bystander intervention, and to create a campus culture of care and compassion.<\/p>\n

BRINGING THE REGION TOGETHER TO ACT<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to its national \u201cboots on campus\u201d tours, Collegiate Empowerment will be hosting The Delaware & Lehigh Valley Student Advancement Conference <\/strong>on Friday, November 6, 2026, at Normandy Farms in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania. <\/strong>Presented through DLV\/SAC, The Delaware & Lehigh Valley Student Advancement Collaborative, the event is expected to bring together roughly 100 higher education professionals <\/strong>from more than 50 local colleges and universities across the Delaware & Lehigh Valley.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A special session, \u201cFrom Headlines to Campus Action: Consent Education, Sexual Assault Prevention, and Campus Response,\u201d <\/em><\/strong>will challenge educators and student advancement professionals to turn concern into campus action: compare approaches, collaborate on solutions, and identify success strategies to implement on campus. Other sessions address issues affecting today\u2019s students.<\/p>\n

Only 17 days to register: tickets close Friday, October 23. <\/strong>Organizers anticipate a sellout; registration may close earlier if capacity is reached. Register at www.DLVSAC.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
