SPOTLIGHT: Supporting a Safe Return to Campus this Fall
Millions of students will arrive at institutions of higher education (IHEs) across the U.S. this fall. The first six weeks on campus can be a vulnerable time—particularly among first-year students—for high-risk alcohol consumption, drug use, hazing, and sexual assault. For example, according to data from the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN), students are at an increased risk of sexual assault during their first few months in college.
National Campus Safety Awareness Month, observed every September, provides IHEs with the opportunity to raise awareness about the safety concerns, preventative measures, and services available to support a safe return to campus for students this fall.
