MANKATO, Minn., (October 22, 2010) – Rasmussen College invites students and community members to attend the informational panel discussion Domestic Violence: How Does a Community Respond? Experts will lead a thought-provoking discussion about the prevalence of domestic violence within the community and steps residents can take in response. Panelists include the Honorable Bradley Walker, Judge 5th Judicial Court; State Representative Tony Cornish; Mike Hanson, Assistant Blue Earth County Attorney; Officer Chris Baukol, Mankato Department of Public Safety; a registered Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner; and a victim advocate from the Committee Against Domestic Assault.
“As committed members of the Mankato community, we at Rasmussen College recognize the unfortunate prevalence of domestic violence within all municipalities,” Rasmussen College Mankato Campus Director Kathy Sanger said. “Discussion surrounding this stigmatized topic is often limited. We hope our panel discussion will encourage open communication about growing incidences of domestic violence and educate the community about how to assist its victims.”
Guests are encouraged to bring questions about domestic violence to be addressed by the panel.
