๐Ÿ‘€ See something off? Step in.
During the start of the semester, you can help prevent harm by being an active bystander:
๐Ÿ”น Distract the person at risk

๐Ÿ”น Stay nearby until theyโ€™re safe
๐Ÿ”น Ask directly if theyโ€™re okay

๐Ÿ’œ Your actions matter. You might be the reason someone gets home safe tonight.

Did you know?

A sexual assault medical forensic exam is provided at no cost to the survivor.

You do not need insurance, and your ability to receive care is not based on your ability to pay.

Everyone deserves access to compassionate, confidential medical care after an assault.

The start of the semester should be exciting โ€” not dangerous. Hereโ€™s how you can look out for yourself and others:
โœ… Use the buddy system when going out.
โœ… Stick to well-lit areas & know your way back to your dorm/apartment.
โœ… Keep your phone charged and share your location with a trusted friend.
โœ… Practice affirmative consent โ€” clear, mutual, and enthusiastic.
โœ… Be a safe bystander โ€” step in, distract, or call for help if you see trouble.

๐Ÿ’œ Victim Witness Services is here for you โ€” confidentially, without judgment.
