Abstract
In 2012-2013, a student needs survey was collected from a sample of 318 WOU students (M=21.31, SD=3.87). Students were asked to rate the importance of having services available on campus relating to 35 physical and psychological issues. Among the highest rated concerns were: sexual assault, sexual harassment, date rape, intimate partner violence, rape recovery, and stalking. Students were also asked if they needed information on these issues for themselves and if they knew someone who needed information. These results suggest that there are a significant number of students who have experienced interpersonal violence and are in need of resources.
