An annual, worldwide event to raise awareness and end sexual violence. Join us for a night dedicated to learning, connecting, and creating a safer campus community.

Let’s Talk is a brief, drop-in, and confidential consultation with a CAPS team member who can support with problem solving and linkage to resources. This program is open to all students and is based on our knowledge that traditional forms of therapy do not always meet the needs of all students and that healing often occurs in community. Visits are first come, first serve and no appointment is necessary.
