Join SMTD Student Success for a special conversation with Cara Kizer, Sammy Sussman, and antonio c. cuyler. The discussion will focus on high-profile allegations of sexual misconduct against members of the New York Philharmonic and the immediate effects of those allegations being made public. It will also address issues of organizational culture around sexual assault and harassment in and beyond the performing arts.
In preparation for this conversation, we strongly encourage participants to read the New York magazine’s reporting about the New York Philharmonic, which includes Cara’s story, before the event. Copies of those articles can be found at this link.

If you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault, gender-based harassment, stalking, or other forms of sexual violence, we encourage you to contact SAPAC or CAPS as confidential resources. Members of the U-M community may have reporting obligations and should make reports to the Equity, Civil Rights & Title IX Office.
