Confidential Peer Support Volunteers: PSVs provide trauma-informed support for student survivors of power and gender-based violence. We believe, respect, and support survivors, whether they are seeking safety, healing, or justice. We recognize the uniqueness and wholeness of each person and we support all movements that empower marginalized groups knowing that this includes survivors as well.

Sexual Assault Awareness Planning Committee: Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) is an annual campaign to raise public awareness about sexual violence. As a Jesuit institution with a core value of people for and with others, “It’s On Us” to step in, intervene, and speak up when we think someone is in trouble. It’s on us to tell our friends if what they are doing is wrong. It’s on us to create an environment where everyone feels, and is, safe. #ItsOnX.
