CANDELARIA ALCAT SexualNews Editor safety and wellness on the rise as CC recovers from losing SARC

The 2014-2015 academic year con- cluded a busy year for Colorado Col- lege’s Wellness Center and the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC). This time was �illed with climate sur- veys, a myriad of fun and educational programs, and an abundance of student feedback. Coming into this school year, however, Colorado College was not prepared for losing beloved SARC Tara Misra, a staff member who had earned credibility as well as likeability among students. Although the Wellness Center and oth- er programs plan to continue what they started with Misra, they see that their plans may be delayed as a consequence. Fellow staff members Gail Murphy- Geiss, Associate Professor of Sociology and Title IX Coordinator, and Heather Horton, Director of the Wellness Re- Photographs by Emilia Whitmer source Center, are excited for Misra, but Pam Shipp, the interim SARC, will be working with the Wellness Center, pictured above, to provide services and programing for students they acknowledge that there is no way in lieu of Tara Misra’s departure. to replace her in the short term.
