The mission of the University of Rhode Island’s Bystander Intervention Program is to provide education and awareness to the campus community regarding sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking as well as to promote active bystanders in order to prevent these crimes. The URI-Standers are committed to fostering an environment in which all members of our community – both on campus and off, including visitors – are safe, secure and free from sexual misconduct of any form. The URI Bystander Intervention Program will accomplish this by facilitating ongoing classes, workshops, training, presentations, and events for student, staff and faculty groups – including, but not limited to: Athletics, Greek Life, ROTC and various other members of the URI community, regardless of ability, ethnicity, race, gender expression or identity.
