Your Voice: Day One and Beyond

Rooted in the pillars of education, empowerment, and action, Your Voice: Day One & Beyond equips students with the knowledge, confidence, and resources they need to safely and successfully navigate their new environment.

The First 90 Days

The First 90 Days

Your voice matters from day one at WVU and you have an essential role in creating a safer campus community. The first 90 days on a college campus are an incredible time for students: You have a heightened sense of responsibility and independence, the chance to engage with peers in new communities and the opportunity to start making the vision you have of your future into reality through your academic career. 

The Your Voice: Day One and Beyond campaign helps strengthen this voice by sharing and teaching about our safety resources, the various support services available on and around campus, how to recognize when someone is not safe and how to intervene as a bystander.

  1. August 20 - September 19th

    Phase 1: Awareness and Rights

    Days 1-30

    Phase 1 lays the groundwork for you to have a fun and safe experience while at WVU, introducing essential resources and support services that strengthen your ability to be an active bystander. By educating each other on rights, responsibilities, and responses to situations we may find ourselves in, we can build a campus environment where everyone feels welcome and respected.

    Dive into resources with Phase 1
  2. September 20th - OCTober 19th

    Phase 2: Connection and Belonging

    Days 31-60

    By this point you're going to know who to turn to when needed, but what about when they're not needed? Spark new connections by plugging in campus events and programming through social events, self-care workshops, partner spotlights, and story-sharing, Phase 2 advances your passions and charges your sense of Mountaineer Pride.

    Expand your network with Phase 2
  3. OCTOBER 20TH - NOVEMBER 18TH

    Phase 3: Empowerment and Advocacy

    Days 61-90

    You're making it through midterms, celebrating our fall sports teams, and gearing up for the last month of the semester: Time to activate your potential and become the advocate you're destined to be. Phase 3 equips you with the tools, skills, and platform to strengthen your leadership and revolutionize your community.

Phase 1: Awareness and Rights

Your first 30 days on a college campus are some of the most important as you navigate a new environment and establish vital social connections.

Let us know your safety tips for navigating campus!

Know your rights, resources and responsibilities

College is fun and you're going to have a time like no other, and we're here for that, but sometimes things happen that aren't expected and aren't okay ... we're here for that, too. Phase 1 focuses on preparing you with the resources and knowledge to navigate difficult situations should they arise.

In collaboration with WVUe 191: First-Year Seminar, Mountaineer Parents Club, WVU Housing, and others across campus, we're setting you up to hit the ground running and not stop until the finish line. By connecting you with critical campus resources, talking with you and collecting feedback on how we can better serve your needs, and letting you know what you can do and where you can turn is all part of strengthening your voice ... day 1 and beyond.
