SAFER Logo and Slogan
SAFER'S logo is a red handprint and slogan is ReMEmber.
Over a decade ago, Cal Poly student activists sought to increase awareness regarding the incidence of sexual assault at Cal Poly. To do this, they placed red handprints at the site of sexual assaults reported on campus. They also instituted the annual Remember Week to remember three local students that were sexually assaulted and killed (Kristin Smart, Rachel Newhouse, and Aundria Crawford) and to promote sexual assault awareness and empowerment.
We want Cal Poly students and staff to remember those that have been sexually assaulted, remember where to attain help for sexual assault survivors, and remember how to reduce the risk of sexual assault.
