Equal Opportunity & Title IX participates in various national and international awareness months, including National Stalking Awareness Month, Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Below is more information on our programming for each month:

Domestic Violence Awareness Month

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). UNT recognizes this time and acknowledges how domestic violence impacts our campus community. We are committed to annually hosting programs that spread awareness, educate on healthy relationship practices, and provide information on support available to individuals impacted by domestic violence.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2024 Recap

EO/TIX held multiple tabling events around the Denton and Frisco campuses providing information on bystander intervention, healthy relationships, and on-campus resources during DVAM 2024.

EO/TIX also coordinated Purple Prom in collaboration with the Dean of Students Office, Student Health and Wellness Center, and University Program Council. Purple Prom is a recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month and a celebration of healthy relationship values. All attendees were encouraged to bring hygiene items or shelf stable food to donate to Denton County Friends of the Family's Domestic Violence Shelter.

Stalking Awareness Month

January is Stalking Awareness Month. Stalking is against UNT Policy 16.005, and we are committed to promoting a safe campus environment. Throughout the month of January, EO/TIX puts on programs that educate students and employees on the prevalence of stalking, how to recognize and prevent stalking, and support available to individuals who have experienced stalking.

Stalking Awareness Month 2025 Recap

EO/TIX hosted a total of 15 tabling events at each residence hall during Stalking Awareness Month to facilitate a game on stalking awareness and answer questions students may have about our office. It was great to hear from students about their commitment to ending stalking on campus. 

EO/TIX also worked with the Dean of Students office to host an educational game on cyberstalking and give out information on support available to individuals experiencing stalking.

Throughout this time, EO/TIX and other campus departments coordinate various events to educate the campus community on best practices to prevent sexual violence and raise awareness of the prevalence of sexual assault. We also annually participate in Denim Day: an international day of recognition of all forms of sexual violence.
