    Students will need to choose one of two areas of focus (EAAA Program or AM/PM Project) for the Saturday classes. 1) The Enhanced Assess, Acknowledge, Act Program (EAAA) was developed and validated through research with women-identified students (including cisgender and transgender women) and centers their experiences. If content designed around men’s lived experiences is more relevant to you, please explore the AM/PM Project. 2) The Actively Modeling Positive Masculinity Project (AM/PM) centers the experiences of men (including cisgender and transgender men) and explores positive masculinity, healthy relationships, and consent.
