Background: On Thursday, November 7, 2019, Genesee Community College will host a special event on the Batavia Campus featuring a powerful Sexual Assault Survivor Art Installation called "What Were They Wearing?"

Guests of the event will also get to meet with members from a variety of campus clubs, resources and community agencies, enjoy games and activities, and enter for a chance to win a raffle prize.
