On this week’s 51%, the U.S. president and vice president announce a campaign to help put an end to sexual assault on college campuses.
You’ll hear about a study focused on female college students and sexual assault. Plus we’ll hear from actress Swoosie Kurtz about her memoir.
Last month, the White House launched an awareness campaign on sexual assault called"It's On Us".
Meanwhile, a new study out of the University at Buffalo's Research Institute on Addictions says female college students of past sexual assaults are at a much higher risk of becoming victims again. In this Focus on Education report, WBFO's Eileen Buckley talks to the principal investigator of the study.
Multiple Tony, Emmy, Obie and Drama Desk Award-winner SwoosieKurtz is a Broadway icon whose work also include movies like Liar, Liar and Dangerous Liaisons and the televisions hits Sisters, Pushing Daisies, and Mike and Molly. She is the author of Part Swan, Part Goose: An Uncommon Memoir of Womanhood, Work, and Family. Her life has become a precarious and precious balancing act as she struggles to stay ahead of her mother Margo’s increasing needs while navigating a showbiz career that keeps one foot in Hollywood and the other on Broadway. Swoosie Kurtz spoke with 51%’s Joe Donahue. This is part two of a two-part interview.
