The expanding sexual assault victim services on campus pilot program (hereafter referred to as campus victim services pilot) supports institutions of higher education to improve victim services on campus by expanding access to holistic sexual assault services on college campuses and creating a promising practices guide for higher education institutions that wish to expand their sexual assault services and advocacy. Campus sexual assault victim services need to be survivor-centered, comprehensive, culturally relevant, flexible, and accessible for all survivors of sexual assault. Therefore, collaborative relationships between campus and community-based victim services providers are critical to ensure access to services. University of california, irvine (UCI), located in irvine, CA, in collaboration with forensic nurse specialists and waymakers OC, will implement this pilot project by expanding existing campus sexual assault services, creating, and documenting their comprehensive victim services model to inform a promising practices guide, and working with the designated technical assistance providers to create the guide for institutions of higher education.
