“Hands Off, Let’s Talk!” a lecture by Bob Hall, a nationally recognized educator in the area of conflict resolution, will be the keynote address of the Rape and Sexual Assault Awareness Conference for Student Leaders at the University of Maine April 6. Sponsored by the UM Rape and Sexual Assault Awareness Program Commit­ tee, the Annual Conference for Student Leaders is designed to promote aware­ ness of the issues involved with acquaintance rape and sexual assault on the college campus. This year the conference will specifically be looking at the soci­ etal climate that supports violence against women and the confusion in dating relationships that sometimes leads to coerced or forced sexual activity. Starting at 8 a.m. with registration, the conference will include sessions and discussions dealing with the issue of rape and sexual assault, and will continue until 12:30 p.m. Bob Hall is president and founder of Learning to Live With Conflict, “a compa­ ny established in 1987 to provide education and training in the analysis and resolution of conflict.” Hall has given seminars on such topics as self-defense, rape prevention, conflict resolution and sexual aggression for schools and pro­ fessional organizations across the country. A black belt in the Japanese Martial Art of Judo and certified mediator for the New York State Unified Court System, Hall has also received a bachelor's degree in business administration from the Bob Hall Rochester Institute of Technology. The keynote lecture of the conference, “Hands Off, Let’s Talk!” is designed to create a dialogue on the subject of sexual aggression on campus, “one of the most common-least talked about sources of conflict between men and women on college campuses,” according to Hall. The Rape and Sexual Assault Awareness Conference is open to student leaders on campus and will be held at the Hilltop Conference Center. For more information, contact x4197, x4561.
