university. And, in the past 11 years, she
has been a part of the Golden Age of
Clayton State sports, celebrating All-
Americans, Peach Belt Conference cham-
pions, national rankings galore and, of
course, the highlight for everyone associ-
ated with Clayton State Athletics, the 2011
NCAA Division II Women’s Basketball
National Championship. In honor of her
years of service for Clayton State, she was
feted by the Athletic Department and
dozens of her peers, including a large con-
tingent of previously-retired Clayton State
staff, with a retirement luncheon on Friday
Apr. 25.
“I don’t believe there is a better environ-
ment than a college campus to work.
Helping students and coaches make their
dreams come true is so rewarding. I look
forward to coming to work every day… of
course working with awesome colleagues
helps too!,” said Keane on the occasion of
winning last year’s Smith Award.
Residents of Morrow for the past 40
years, the Keanes have also made numer-
ous trips back to Philadelphia during that
time. However, their first trip will after
her retirement was to spend 19 days in
Europe, starting with a river cruise from
Nuremberg and ending in Budapest.
Of course, before she left Clayton State,
Pat received one more honor. At the
Tuesday, Apr. 29 Faculty/Staff Awards
Ceremony, she received her 30 year award
from the University, an extremely rare
accomplishment for a staff member. But,
then again, Pat Keane is an extremely rare
individual. Clayton State will not likely
see her equal any time soon.

Don’t Be Accused of Sexual Assault
• First, be respectful. Anytime you are
uncertain whether your partner is com-
fortable with your behavior, ask! You can
simply say, “Are you okay with this?”
“No” means no. What’s more, assume that
“I’m not sure” also means no.
• Understand that a person who is drunk
is not legally capable of giving consent. If
the other person is not capable of making
an informed decision, do not have sex.
• Recognize that your sexual needs do not
give you the right to do whatever you
want. Any sexual activity should be mutu-
ally desired.
• If you’re going to drink, do so responsi-
bly. Most sexual assaults on college cam-
puses follow drinking by one or both indi-
viduals. In addition, be aware of how
alcohol affects you. If drinking makes you
more aggressive, you could be in danger
of sexually assaulting someone. Being
drunk is not a defense for committing sex-
ual assault.
• If your friend or roommate is sexually
assaulting someone, do what you can to
stop the assault. You can be charged with
complicity if you know about an assault
and fail to intervene.\
• Be aware that committing rape has
severe consequences. For your victim,
there can be years of emotional trauma,
unwarranted guilt, and fear. For you, sex-
ual assault can lead to criminal charges,
attorney expenses, and prison. For both of
you, a sexual assault can result in disease,
pregnancy, and social stigma. An act of
non consensual sex is not worth years of
regret.
• Physical description of the shooter/s
• Number and type of weapons possessed
by the shooter/s
• Number of potential victims and their
locations at the incident scene
These are just a few safety suggestions to
keep in mind. Our Public Safety
Department can provide an “active shoot-
er response” training session to either
small or large groups upon request, which
includes a practical scenario video recent-
ly produced by campus police in the USG
system. If interested, please call our office
at (678) 466-4050.
