Angela Cameron went to a party with
a friend on a Friday night in early April. He
offered to let her stay over at his apartment
and she did, only to find her underwear on
the floor when she awoke from a blackout
the next morning. She had been sexually as-saulted.
Some time later, she recalled, she “was
in class, staring at the person who raped me.
Part of me wanted to strangle him. Another
part of me wanted to hide in a corner,” Cam-eron
said.
According to Cameron, she can’t re-member
the next week of her life following
the assault.
“I went into acute shock. … You pretty
much go on autopilot to react normally to an
abnormal situation until you can’t handle it,”
said Cameron, a junior majoring in broadcast
journalism and theater who said she wanted
her story told so others might learn from it.
In 2014, one in four college women has
survived rape or attempted rape, according to
One In Four, a national nonprofit aimed at
ending sexual assault. This would equal 1,350
female undergraduate students on a college
campus the size of the University of Miami’s.
Although these statistics are nationwide, sex-ual
assault is an issue that colleges, including
UM, are addressing.
Recently, UM has begun to address the
issue of sexual assault in a combination of pro-grams
and events. This includes the formation
of the President’s Campus Coalition on Sex-ual
Violence Prevention and Education led
by President Donna E. Shalala in May and
Canes Consent, an event that raises aware-ness
of sexual assault, started in 2013. There
have been other events, such as “A Call to
Men,” and efforts like the Sexual Assault PSA
by Student Government, as well as The Hook
Up, a presentation held during this year’s ori-entation.
