Students walking across the Arts Quad Friday may have been surprised to find various pieces of bedroom furniture on the lawn alongside Olin Library.

The set-up, called “Pillow Talk,” was part of the Every1 Campaign’s initiative to promote discussion about sexual consent on college campuses, according to Emma Court ’15, president of the campaign.

“[The Every1 Cam­paign] aims to start the conversation about consent to prevent sexual assault and encourage healthy, consensual sexual relationships,” Court said.
