My name is Josué Quiñones. I graduated from Binghamton University in May of 2010 with a Bachelor's in Human Development and currently am a Second Year MSW Graduate Student here. I entered Binghamton University in 2005 through the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP). Throughout my time as an undergraduate student, had witnessed and attended several 20:1 presentations. It truly changed my perspective about sexual assault and the topic of sex in general. Personally, it created awareness about the various taboo areas surrounded around consent, sex, and sexual assault, as well as the biases and myths I internalized and learned from society. I had not taken the opportunity to participate in 20:1 during my undergraduate years at Binghamton University but now have been granted the opportunity to do so. As a fellow University student, I believe that it is crucial for other students to understand the concept of consent and how to obtain it. It is also imperative that students here at the University understand the definition of sexual assault and how significant it is especially in an environment where sexual activity is relatively high. As a member of 20:1 my intention is to help train students so that they may reach out to other students and entice them enough to revisit their thoughts about this topic and potentially enlighten others.
