Kenneth Dahl and has two daughters, said the assaults did not change her career path (though she tried to keep one of her daughters home from college until she was 18)—but they changed the way she went about it. “When we started SHARP, I think that there was more assault in the Army than when I first came in,” she said. “Our culture is a vulgar culture. We don’t really even know what the rate (of sexual assaults) is—but it is not tolerable, and it is

Hambrick said her personal background with body policing in the workplace also drew her to the topic. “I came from a place, being here at PLU, with people telling me that my hair had to look a certain way, my earrings had to be a certain size, I had to cover my tattoos, maybe I shouldn’t have a nose ring,” Hambrick said. “If that’s our experience, then what are the experiences of students at a predominantly
