The Effect of a Sexual Assault on a Student's Academic, Social, and Mental Performance In college, there are a lot of things that go unspoken about including sexual violence. There are a lot of bystanders and many incidents that go unreported throughout individuals' college career. In my research paper, I want to research the effects that sexual violence has on a student's ability to perform not only in a good academic standing, but a good mental health and social standing as well, as the student (victim) proceeds with their college career. I want to research on a case by case basis of the effects such an incident can have on a student because it can vary from person to person. Sexual violence on college campus is such a prevalent occurrence; however, I do not feel like it is spoken about enough and that no one really has the knowledge of what it can do to a student's state.
