Faculty and staff honors-- CARe, the Communities Against Rape Initiative headed Mary Pilat, Purdue Extension specialist in 4-H youth, has won the 1999 Presidential Award from the Indiana Rural Health Association. CARe combines the expertise of educators, counselors and health professionals to create and distribute teaching materials aimed at preventing sexual assault and rape among people under age 24. Indiana Rural Health Association president Rob Clark noted that 72 of Indiana's 92 countries are considered rural, and CARe programs are vital to providing access to sexual assault support and preventive education in those communities.-- Purdue police officer Carrie K.
