College President Jim Yong Kim announced the formation of a Student and Presidential Committee on Sexual Assault in an e-mail to the Dartmouth community on Wednesday.
According to the e-mail, the committee will begin executing and elaborating on the recommendations made by the Task Force on Sexual and Physical Assault, which met from January through June of last year.
The committee -- which will involve the Office of the President, the Dean of the College Office, College Health Services and the Center for Women and Gender, among other groups -- plans to increase campus education and design a "more effective" orientation program for first-year students, according to the e-mail.
The committee will include five subcommittees, to be chaired by students from various class years.
