Our Mission
CARE's mission is to support and advocate for Huskers impacted by sexual and relationship violence through confidential, trauma-informed services, while also prioritizing prevention education that centers student leadership and engagement. We are dedicated to fostering a safe, inclusive, and survivor-centered campus environment by promoting a culture of consent, accountability, and respect. Through collaboration, education, and outreach, we work to prevent harm and create lasting, systemic change within the university community.
Our Vision
A Husker community working towards a campus free of sexual violence, relationship violence, stalking, and sexual harassment.
We envision a campus where:
- Victims and Survivors receive the respect, support, and advocacy they deserve.
- Huskers are equipped to support survivors with empathy, respect, and compassion—by listening without judgment, affirming their experiences, and connecting them to appropriate resources and referrals.
- Every Huskers’ experience includes comprehensive education on consent, respect, healthy relationships, and bystander intervention.
- The community actively engages in examining and improving institutional practices and policies with the goal of fostering a more supportive, responsive, and accountable environment for all.
- Prevention is every Husker’s responsibility.
