SHARE's purpose is to lead and support campus efforts to address interpersonal violence and abuse. The office provides emergency response, intervention, and care to student survivors of sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic/dating violence, and stalking. We also work closely with a network of campus and community partners to foster a University environment that is intolerant of abuse, responsive to needs of survivors, and holds perpetrators accountable for their actions. We aim to contribute to a campus culture in which interpersonal violence has no place and our distinctive community of learning is free to flourish.
