INTRODUCTION FOR STUDENT

“Can I Kiss You?” PROGRAM

For a program to be most effective, the opening of the presentation can mean a great deal to the setting it creates with students. For this reason, please stay true to the wording of the below introduction – this introduction has been found to create a strong response from students and to get them in the right frame of mind. Please try not to add any discussion about sexual assault or rape prior to Mike’s program beginning. One of the reasons audiences say Mike’s opening is so powerful is that they never feel like they are about to hear a “typical” sexual assault or rape awareness lecture.

Remember to ask Mike to provide the Introducer with a fun T-shirt to wear for the intro (and keep)!!!
