Pledge Purple

Pledge Purple is a yearlong initiative, focused on education and advocacy with the goal of ending sexual violence, harassment, and bullying.  The university provides one week of focused programming each academic year.

The Pledge: “I will not use my hands or words in acts of bullying, hazing, sexual assault, or other forms of violence. I will educate myself and others about what forms of violence look like in the Pirate community. I will support my community and safely intervene as an active bystander if I witness acts of violence.”
