Violence Prevention

Overview

You’re the most important part of making USF a safer place. That’s why we offer programs that address relationships, bystander intervention, consent, and recognizing relationship red flags. We also require mandatory training for incoming students on all these topics. We aim to prevent violence on our campus by providing you with ongoing tools and knowledge to become active bystanders to keep our community safe.
