Campus Safety Awareness Campaign

UC Santa Cruz is committed to a safe, supportive learning and working environment for all members of the campus community. Campus safety is our top priority, and we take all threats of violence seriously to protect everyone’s health and well-being. 

Preventing violence on campus depends on UCSC community members identifying and communicating behaviors of concern—early identification of concerns allows administrators and staff to provide resources to students in distress to minimize harm to self or others. You can help by being aware of your surroundings on campus and reporting any unusual activity from people. We are all responsible for safety. If you see something, say and do something about it—report any concerning behavior and suspicious activity.

If you are thinking about suicide or are worried about a friend or loved one, please reach out to the following confidential 24/7 hotlines:

National Suicide Hotline (800)273-8255
Suicide Prevention Service of Santa Cruz County (831)458-5300
