The UO Division of Student Life is taking a unique approach to sexual assault prevention, launching the  Ducks Do Something Video Challenge to involve students in the national discussion.

In conjunction with the It’s On Us campaign’s national day of action Nov. 17,  the Division of Student Life challenges students to create 30 to 90 second videos about how students can stop sexual assault.

“We want the voices of students to be louder than the statistics,” Kerry Frazee said.

Frazee is the Director of Sexual Violence Prevention and Education at UO. Frazee and her colleagues at the Division of Student Life want the contest to be open to all students at UO, including independent students, and established groups, organizations such as residents halls, FSL and more can submit videos to the challenge.

“We’re making it so that all students can be involved,” Kerry Frazee said. “No matter what that looks like.”

There will be first, second and third place prizes for both independent and established groups as well as a prize for overall viewer’s choice. Prizes range from $500 to duck gear.

Registration starts November 17 and the registration deadline is January 23.

For more information about the video challenge check out the website or contact Kerry Frazee with questions.
