“Too many people are afraid to step in, for fear that they might be embarrassed or might get in the way. If you see something you know isn't right, say something, do something, don't count on someone else to act.”

The “Don't Assume You Know” campaign invites people to take a second look at potentially dangerous assumptions. The campaign is particularly geared toward issues college students may face, such as sexual assault, relationship violence, alcohol abuse, hazing and bystander apathy.
