The Wake Forest Center for Awareness, Response, and Education
(CARE) supports victims of sexual assault, dating and domestic
violence, stalking, and cyberstalking. Initiated in 2000, it was
the only university program in North Carolina to receive an award
from the Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against
Women. Under the guidance of a full-time director, the center
has created strong working relationships with such campus organizations
as Athletics, Residence Life and Housing, the University Counseling
Center, Student Health Services, University Police, Multicultural
Affairs, Health and Exercise Science, Sociology, Greek Affairs,
Dean of Students, and Victim Services, and with off-campus agencies,
such as Family Services of Winston Salem and the Winston-Salem
police department, to improve victim services and community outreach.
