Sexual Health & Violence Prevention and Research offers highly visible, convenient, and accessible programs and services which enable students to live at high levels or wellness and live in an environment which is safe to achieve their academic goals and aspirations.

In order to attain this mission, we design our programs and services to create a balance of physical, emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual and sexual health that encourages students to respect the dignity and rights of others, while developing a strong sense of their personal self-esteem and development. Areas of emphasis include but are not limited to building healthy relationships, developing communication skills, reducing interpersonal violence, and promoting sexual health.

We provide a range of services for students on issues surrounding sexual health, sexual assault, relationship violence and hate crimes. 24-Hour Crisis Assistance is also available by calling the USC Police Department dispatcher at 777-4215. The dispatcher can put you in contact with the on-call advocate from Sexual Health & Violence Prevention and Research. Click here for Mission Statement
