Join Safe Place on April 30th by wearing denim in honor of Denim Day!

What is Denim Day?
Denim Day started in 1999 in response to a controversial Italian court ruling that overturned a rape conviction because the victim was wearing tight jeans, implying she could not have been assaulted if she could remove them herself. This ruling sparked outrage and led to the Denim Day movement, where people wore denim to protest victim-blaming and show support for survivors of sexual assault.

Why It's Important:
Denim Day is still an important movement today as we continue to emphasize that clothing is never an excuse for assault. Wearing denim on April 30th is a powerful way to stand in solidarity with survivors and challenge harmful narratives about sexual violence.

Resource Fair:
Join us at Trinity Lawn for a Resource Fair, where we'll be visible in our support for all survivors. Come by to learn about available resources, connect with others, and show your commitment to ending sexual violence.

Let's stand together, Wildcats, and raise awareness for this important cause!

One of the most important Japanese films ever made, Kwaidan is an anthology horror film loosely based on four Japanese folk stories collected and published by Lafcadio Hearn in 1904. The four unrelated stories in Kwaidan feature some of the most stunning imagery ever made in horror films, resulting in the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 1965 as well as Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.

We will be holding a special fifteen-minute intermission midway through the movie, like classic film screenings of old, replete with free Japanese snacks!

This film would be of particular interest to those working in and studying Japanese cinema and culture; arthouse cinema; Asian history; folklore; religious studies; and anthropology.

Be sociable and share with your colleagues, students, staff, campus clubs and organizations, and members of the community who might be interested!

Free and Open to the Public!

The University Film Series is sponsored by the CSU, Chico Humanities Center.

University Communications is looking for research to feature in the fall issue of Chico Statements, slated for release in September. Faculty who have noteworthy progress or outcomes to share are encouraged to submit their research for consideration.

Please send a description to Clayton Truscott at ctruscott@csuchico.edu by Wednesday, May 7. Submissions should be 35-40 words and understandable to the everyday reader.

Examples of previously featured "Breakthroughs":


—Professor Suzanne Zivnuska's dive into social psychology determined that social media addiction degrades work-family balance and detracts from employee work performance. Additional emotional reactions to posts contribute to burnout at work and create work-family conflict.

—In analyzing direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical ad disclosures, finance and marketing professor Bob Madrigal found that major-risk statements may not meet FDA requirements to be clear and neutral. Consumers' abilities to process risk information are hampered by an abundance of motion and positive and visually complex imagery.

—Lantis Endowed Faculty Chairs Jinsong Zhang and Kun Zhang have created a process to repurpose used cooking oils to replace petroleum-based asphalt binders. They'll now combine the biobinders with recyclable asphaltic waste—including pavement materials and house roof shingles—to explore even more sustainable road maintenance.

At Chico State, we believe in a harm reduction approach to substance use — because every life is valuable, and deserves access to support without judgment. If you or someone you know uses substances, knowing how to recognize and respond to an overdose can save a life.

Recognizing an Overdose:

Overdoses can happen to anyone. Whether intentional or accidental, opioids—including fentanyl—can slow breathing to dangerous levels. Here's what to look for:

  • Slow, irregular, or no breathing
  • Unresponsiveness (won't wake up or react to touch)
  • Bluish, gray, or pale skin, lips, or fingertips
  • Pinpoint pupils
  • Gurgling or choking sounds

How Narcan (Naloxone) Helps:

Narcan is a safe, easy-to-use nasal spray that can reverse opioid overdoses and restore breathing within minutes. It won't harm someone if opioids aren't present, so if you suspect an overdose, it's always better to use it.

Free Narcan Available on Campus:

  • WellCat Health Center
  • 601 Warner St.
  • The WELL
  • BMU 003B

Remember the signs of an opioid overdose, pick up free Narcan on campus, and be prepared with the tools to save a life!

Join Safe Place on April 30th by wearing denim in honor of Denim Day!

What is Denim Day?
Denim Day started in 1999 in response to a controversial Italian court ruling that overturned a rape conviction because the victim was wearing tight jeans, implying she could not have been assaulted if she could remove them herself. This ruling sparked outrage and led to the Denim Day movement, where people wore denim to protest victim-blaming and show support for survivors of sexual assault.

Why It's Important:
Denim Day is still an important movement today as we continue to emphasize that clothing is never an excuse for assault. Wearing denim on April 30th is a powerful way to stand in solidarity with survivors and challenge harmful narratives about sexual violence.

Resource Fair:
Join us at Trinity Lawn for a Resource Fair, where we'll be visible in our support for all survivors. Come by to learn about available resources, connect with others, and show your commitment to ending sexual violence.

Let's stand together, Wildcats, and raise awareness for this important cause!
