Head in the Heartland, Heart in the Hinterland
Note: This post has been adapted from a paper and slide deck that was presented to Dr. Florence Chee’s Digital Media Ethics class at Loyola University Chicago during Fall 2018. Special thanks to Dr. Chee for the invitation and to fellow SOC student, Lê Minh Hà Millie, for being a supportive friend and documentarian.

This morning, I went to pull together a list of resources for survivors of sexual and domestic assault to accompany another blog.
Reflecting on the educational diversity of my social circle, "What happens if one of my friends, who doesn't go to Loyola, needs an on-campus resource? I don't want to have to dig through a school's website during a crisis. Surely, someone has compiled a list of resources for students at various Chicago universities in one place!"
Apparently not!
With that, I embarked on my mission of locating resources for survivors on the owned-websites of 10 Chicagoland universities. As I went through each website, I found that some schools were quite direct and concise with their presentation. Other schools had either limited or buried information.
Once I had finished reviewing websites, I wanted to present it in a way that was easy to review, carry and share.
RAINN offers a variety of free-print materials that range from posters to handouts, including a customizable campus resource card. Utilizing this free download, I tweaked their double-sided resource to include the publicly accessible advocacy information.
Please feel free to share, tack them to your fridge, your friend's fridge.
Note: If there has been a recent update to this information that was not reflected on a particular university's page at the time of creation, please don't hesitate to contact me to update!
