Sexual Assault Resources

For those who experience sexual misconduct

Creating a cultural shift

Addressing sexual and gender-based violence requires a comprehensive approach to prevention that:
  • Acknowledges that the vast majority of sexual misconduct is perpetrated by a person or persons known to the victim.
  • Recognizes the complex and often co-occurring connection of alcohol and drugs and to sexual assault.
  • Challenges any propensity for victim-blaming.
  • Promotes the acceptance of – and affirms each individual’s right to – a broad spectrum of sexual choices.
  • Understands and clearly defines the meaning and nature of consent.

Taking a community approach

Addressing sexual misconduct requires a holistic approach. We aim to raise awareness of issues, resources, and responsibilities among all members of the campus, providing each with the skills and efficacy to promote a caring community in which students are safe from sexual assault, harassment, and discrimination.
