In-Power is a student-led peer support group that brings community, grounding, and healing to create a safe space for survivors of sexual violence. Through weekly meetings Co-Facilitators orchestrate group discussions that encourage our members to share their stories, heal open wounds, and provide extra resources, to be heard, valued, and respected. Our Co-Facilitators create a safe and supportive environment for all students despite gender and race. Our overarching mission is to advocate for survivors and foster a culture of education and empowerment within the student body, striving to effect positive change and elevate the voices of those who have experienced trauma.

Kortney St Preux

 

My name is Kortney St Preux, pronouns she/her, and I am a first year ACES student pursing a Healthcare Management major and Psychological Sciences minor. I have been facilitating In-Power meetings and getting involved with Women Center events and planning since the Spring 2024 semester. I believe in fostering an inclusive environment that looks beyond labels, to grow a community for survivors and advocate for students on campus. My goal for In-Power is to continue to create a safe and nurturing environment, as well as help others no matter what stage they are in their healing, feel empowered.
