An important aspect of cultivating a safe environment on campus is providing multiple ways to report concerns, seek support and gain resources. We encourage members of the university community to connect to any of the campus programs below.
Human Affairs Teams: The Human Affairs Teams is comprised of 70 cadets who promote a social climate of equal opportunity, fair treatment, and awareness of social issues impacting the leadership development of all students. In addition to presenting programs to other cadets, the HAT members also act as peer supporters, reporting issues and referring students to professionals when appropriate. If you are interested in being a part of the Human Affairs Team please contact the Human Affairs advisor- Ms. Eileen Quinn, Director of C.A.R.E. (843-953-7277).

Denim Day signifies the Italian Supreme Court ruling where a rape conviction was overturned that a victim’s tight jeans was consent for rape. Now, every year we wear jeans with a purpose to end victim blaming, deconstruct harmful myths and make a social statement that there is no excuse and never an invitation to rape.
