Wednesday, April 1:

  • Start By Believing Day | 9-10 AM @ Utah State Capitol Rotunda. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Rape Recovery Center (801) 467-7282 | 24-HR HelpLine EN (801) 736-4356 or ESP (801) 924-0860. "Utah has a strong legacy with the Start by Believing (SBB) campaign—Governor Herbert officially designated Utah as a 'Start by Believing' state in 2015 through a proclamation sponsored by Representative Angela Romero. Additionally, Utah led the way in establishing Start by Believing Day, now observed nationwide on the first Wednesday of April." 

  • Black Bold and Brilliant presents a free screening of The Dells | 7 PM @ Utah Film Center, 375 W 499 N, SLC. "The Dells observes the clash between fantasy and reality faced by international student workers newly arrived in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin – the self-described 'Waterpark Capital of the World.' The film follows the rhythms of an ensemble cast of 'J-1s' as they work, party, and cruise around town in taxis. Students weather the myriad headaches of making ends meet in the US – car troubles, job losses, long work hours – thanks to their friendships and youthful optimism. We see their hopes for a summer of American luck and prosperity rub up against their actual experiences, which are by turns disappointing, funny, and transcendent." To reserve your free spot, click here.
