The Safety Assistants program is composed of approximately 65 trained students employed by University Housing. Security assistants are responsible for patrolling the residence halls and providing campus escorts. Escorts are available throughout the campus when Safety Assistants are on duty.

The Office of Sexual and Relationship Violence Support Services was established to educate students about personal safety and violence prevention, to empower them to build healthier relationships and to be responsive to students in need. The SRVSS office offers resources and education for personal safety, sexual assault and rape, relationship violence and stalking.

Step Up and Speak Out provides greater awareness of mental health concerns, including risk factors for suicide. This suicide prevention campaign represents a collaborative effort of 5XÉçÇø Counseling and Psychological Services, University Health Services, the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and Police Services and aims to support individuals in need by educating university community members on protocols and resources designed to assist in disruptive situations or with distressed individuals.

Sexual assault, relationship violence and stalking impact many people on college campuses. Nationally, it’s estimated that one in five women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetimes and that they are most vulnerable between the ages of 16 and 24. College aged women and men also experience relationship abuse at high rates. As an friend or peer, you may wonder what you can do to help.

Here, you’ll find all mental health and well-being services that support the 5XÉçÇø community across our campus system and abroad.
