About SACSA
"We founded Students Against Campus Sexual Assault (SACSA) because we felt that there needed to be a direct outlet for students to collaborate with one another in addressing the issues of sexual violence. SACSA is a student led organization that aims to foster a community for those affected by sexual assault, and we strive to provide a space for healing and productive conversations among survivors and others who are motivated to learn more about this issue." - SACSA Co-Founders

Torii Kaleba
Hi! My name is Torii Kaleba- I am the Co-President of SACSA, Majoring in Psychology with a minor in Chinese. My passion towards the prevention of sexual misconduct started in high school when I joined a club dedicated to promoting consent education. Through this experience I learned how prevalent this issue of sexual misconduct was, and how there needed to be more conversations around it. As a first-year student at the University of Colorado Boulder and a president of SACSA, I will continue to advocate for this cause, of which I care deeply about.
Anna Adams
Hi, my name is Anna Adams - I am an Environmental Studies student at CU Boulder with serious dedication to advocacy. Since high school I have been committed to raising my voice against sexual assault and creating a world where every voice is heard. I discovered this when I helped found my school district’s Title IX Student Council, where I served on the board for two years. Following this, I founded my own advocacy club to advocate for menstrual product supply in school bathrooms. Beyond advocacy, I am an avid skier and dog lover. I am so honored to be a board member for SACSA, and to carry on this vital work and reach as many people as possible!

I want to be a part of activism to change the wrongs in this world. I want to be part of the change that improves the lives of people who are negatively impacted. There needs to be a change in how sexual assault is talked about and treated by schools and law enforcement. This impacts everyone and can not be ignored.
