Drop Your Pride

Drop Your Pride

"The combination of alcohol and driving does not discriminate. It does not care who, what, when, where or why. It can destroy hundreds of lives both directly and indirectly in the blink of an eye.

I know not every student drinks, and not every student drinks and drives. However, I also know that it happens somewhere, every hour and every day, seven days a week. The backbone of the Drop Your Pride program is simple: Your actions have consequences, both good and bad. Nobody is perfect, and we all make mistakes. The important thing however, is to minimize all unnecessary risk. I do not condone underage or excessive drinking, but I do realize that it happens. All I ask is that you do not drive after drinking. To Drop your Pride has symbolic meaning: Pride represents each person’s keys after drinking alcohol.

999 out of 1000 times, nothing bad may happen. The one time it does, it changes everything". - David Lisak

The Undetected Rapist

The Undetected Rapist

David Lisak is a clinical psychologist who has devoted his professional life to studying the causes and consequences of interpersonal violence. His research on nonstranger rapists, and on the long term impact of childhood sexual abuse in adult men has been published in leading scientific journals.

For the past 25 years he has served as a forensic consultant, professional trainer, and public speaker across the United States. He has served on the faculty of the National Judicial Education Project and the American Prosecutors Research Institute, and has served as a consultant to judicial, prosecutor and law enforcement education programs across the country.

He has conducted trainings and workshops in all fifty states across the U.S., and consults widely with universities, the four services of the U.S. Military, the Department of Defense, and other institutions regarding sexual assault prevention and policies. Dr. Lisak consults frequently on sexual violence and homicide cases across the country. He serves as an expert witness in death penalty cases where issues of child abuse are pertinent, and in sexual assault cases on issues of victim behavior and offender characteristics.

All Sage and RPI faculty and staff are invited to hear him speak about "The Undetected Rapist," which will be tailored for faculty and staff. This will take place on the Troy campus on Wednesday, March 26th from 2:00-3:30PM in the Schacht Theater.

Dr. Lisak will then be going to RPI where he will present to both RPI and RSC students at 5pm in EMPAC. This presentation will be broader in scope and will explore why people engage in interpersonal violence.
