This presentation will feature different forms of sexual harassment that can happen in school. Students will be real life examples and discuss what behaviors they believe to be harassment. Discussions will center around consent in sexual relationships so that students will leave with an understanding of when someone has or has not given consent and when consent is impossible to give.

Secret Agent L will talk candidly about how the Secret Agent L Project got started and how it's grown over the past two years. She will talk about the importance of "intentional acts of kindness," as opposed to "random acts of kindness."
