Jared Watkins Georgetown University Campus MOST Member

Jared Watkins is a senior at Georgetown University double majoring in English and Women’s and Gender Studies. He is currently a Co-Chair of GU Men of Strength and has been in the group since its founding in October 2008. He enjoys writing fiction and playing pickup basketball.

Men of Strength has had an incredible impact on his life since helping found the group in his sophomore year. He feels empowered with the knowledge and skills to address rape-supporting behavior around him, support survivors of sexual assault, and advocate for feminist causes on campus and beyond. Jared experiences the counterstory of masculinity whenever men feel comfortable talking to him about masculinity, sexuality, and relationship issues, an experience which has increased exponentially since Jared become a visible male leader on sexual assault issues.
