in which standards for behavior are clearly communicated to members of the community. We encourage all students to take action in any situations where they feel individuals may be at risk. If you have heard of or seen any activity that may put students at
risk, you can report it to UCPD, Student Conduct, the Fraternity and Sorority Involvement Center, Student Life, Athletics, Residential Life, or the Dean of Students.
