Program Mission
The Sexual and Relationship Violence Response Program at the WRC addresses sexual violence at PSU by providing students with connections to resources, information, and trauma-informed support. We advocate for best practices in campus-coordinated response efforts at all institutional levels.
Confidential Advocacy Services
The WRC serves students of all genders. We can answer questions, work with student survivors, and advocate for their self-identified needs, decisions, wishes, questions, and concerns. This includes:
- Providing intervention, support, information, and referrals.
- Serving as a liaison between the student and campus departments, such as Residence Life, Campus Public Safety, Student Health and Counseling, Student Legal Services, and the Office of Student Affairs.
- Serving as a liaison and advocate with University faculty and staff.
- Assisting in linking the student survivor to off-campus community services when needed.
- Assisting the student survivor with accessing and understanding University policy, including Student Conduct Code.

The WRC’s Sexual and Relationship Violence Response Program focuses on three areas of activities:
- Students: Providing direct, individual student services.
