April 29, 2021 LA GRANDE, Ore. – Taylor Tibbetts leverages her Privileged Campus Advocate (PCA) Instagram to spotlight resources for people experiencing abuse. Tibbetts, a Shelter From the Storm employee based on the Eastern Oregon University campus, organized a range of events and opportunities in April for Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). This year, programming focused on the online platforms that gained usership during the COVID-19 pandemic. She said virtual interactions require consent, just like in-person. “Consent online is also a huge deal that a lot of people may not have realized, or don’t really talk about sometimes,” Tibbetts said. Dating, relationships, and friendships have been formed through online connections this year, Tibbetts noted. She used this insight to create a campaign based on platforms like Zoom and virtual dating sites many have been using to create connections. Individuals ranging from middle school to college-age students have become more active in a virtual world.
