Learn about the resources, how to report, and the policies surrounding sexual assault, domestic and dating violence, stalking and harassment.

Today over 500 first year students attend a training during their URI 101 class about the resources available for students impacted by interpersonal violence. This week another 2000 first year students will also complete the training. Each day we will be highlighting different resources and supports for students. Supporting and believing survivors is essential and connecting them to confidential spaces on campus allows them to be able to explore all the medical, reporting, and wellness options for those impacted by interpersonal violence.
