DESCRIPTION:Restoring Dignity after Sexual Assault is the topic of Lisa Blanchard's 
 presentation. When she was an undergraduate she was looking for a way to 
 help others when a chance conversation led her to look into the plight of 
 women reporting sexual assault. Sometimes these victims-already traumatized 
 by the assault-suffer the indignity of being sent home in a paper hospital 
 gown after their clothes are kept as police evidence. Exams can last 
 anywhere from three and a half to ten hours, depending on whether victims 
 need medical treatment. Victims include both males and females, and range 
 in age from infants to senior citizens. \n\nSince its start in 2010, Lisa's 
 project has grown to supply SART (Sexual Assault Response Team) facilities 
 in 15 counties and more have come asking for help. After she investigated 
 further she found lots of different needs- new clothes, toiletries, food to 
 help victims tolerate the medications, and more. "I had no idea when I 
 started my simple class project that I was hitting a vein of need that was 
 so immense, that basically it's consumed my life for the past year," said 
 Blanchard.\n \nLocation is close to Wolfe Rd. and has an entrance to 
 parking on Linnet Lane.\n\nFor more information contact Laurel Brock,
