SSHOC (pronounced shock) Aotearoa is a collective of staff and students committed to preventing discrimination and sexual violence on University campuses.
As we move into 2023 and plan our next steps, SSHOC Aotearoa is looking for more committee members to get involved and work towards University campuses that are safe for staff and students. Keen to get involved in our work? Sign up here: https://t.co/GLkKKYIY79 5/5
