After Green Dot had been implemented on campus this year, the bystander intervention and violence prevention training program is taking more time to reach out and involve students, faculty and staff — one whole week, to be exact. 

The first Green Dot Action Week will start the first week of April with documentary screenings, panels, food and a chance to participate in a Green Dot bystander training. Here’s a rundown of the events happening this week:
