Title IX on the 9^th

This month, SUNY Poly’s Title IX Working Group would like to share a powerful Public Service Announcement (PSA) that focuses on sexual violence and the effect that it has on survivors and the college community.  The lyrics of this song can also apply and provide meaning to those experiencing depression, being bullied or dealing with other trauma in their lives.

"Till It Happens to You” co-written by Diane Warren and Lady Gaga and directed by Catherine Hardwicke, is the theme song of a documentary titled The Hunting Ground.  This film documents the lives of young people affected by rape and other forms of sexual violence.

The music video for “Till It Happens to You” can be viewed at the link below.  Please note that the video contains graphic content that may be unsettling for viewers.

SUNY Poly’s Title IX Working Group would also like to remind employees and students of the campus and community resources available to them at  https://www.suny.edu/violence-response/ (choose applicable location from the dropdown, SUNY Polytechnic Institute Albany Site or SUNY Polytechnic Institute Utica Site).

If you have any questions, please contact the Title IX Coordinators at TitleIX@sunypoly.edu.

Thank you,
