October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The University Police stand with survivors and remind our community that help is available. Domestic violence affects people of all backgrounds and is never acceptable. If you or someone you know needs support, reach out to campus resources or law enforcement. Together, we can raise awareness, support survivors, and work to end domestic violence. You are not alone.
