YesFest — presented by Purdue CARE, in partnership with University Residences — welcomes all students, especially incoming Boilermakers, to an engaging, student-centered kickoff event. Dive into interactive activities on consent, alcohol safety, bystander intervention and boundary setting while exploring Interpersonal Violence (IPV) resources. You’ll also hear real stories about IPV’s impact and discover how we can work together to bring about positive change. YesFest is more than an event — it’s a celebration of empowerment, connection and respectful community values.
