Our Commitment
We are committed to building a campus where everyone feels safe and is treated with respect. We support students who have been affected by dating and domestic abuse, sexual violence, and stalking while working to prevent harm in our community. We do this by addressing barriers to safety, raising awareness, challenging harmful social norms, and working together with our community to make positive change.
Where we focus our work:
- Providing one-on-one confidential support for students who have been harmed.
- Raising awareness about these issues.
- Prevention and culture change events.
- Training for staff, faculty, and students on trauma informed response (ways to offer support and discuss resources).
- Supporting systems that center the needs of survivors.
