We recognize the prevalence and impact of sexual violence, sexual exploitation, interpersonal violence, stalking, and harassment within higher education. We are committed to the role we play in providing a safe and supportive campus community.
Students who have concerns about their own or someone’s relationship can speak confidently to a counselor in the Student Counseling Center.
Consent is an agreement between participants to engage in sexual activity. Consent should be clearly and freely communicated. A verbal and affirmative expression of consent can help both you and your partner to understand and respect each other’s boundaries.
Stalking is a pattern of behavior (or a series of actions) directed at a specific person that causes that individual to feel afraid or in danger.
Anyone can be a victim of stalking, regardless of their gender identity, sexuality, ability status, race, ethnicity, age, socioeconomic status, etc.
Everyone has a role to play in preventing sexual assault and there are many different ways you can step up to make a difference. An active bystander is someone who interrupts a potentially harmful situation, especially when it comes to sexual violence. They may not be directly involved but they do have the choice and opportunity to speak up and intervene.
