It's On Us. Puget Sound is one of 28 college campuses nationwide to partner with It's On Us, a national movement aimed at changing the culture surrounding campus sexual assault. As a Campus Innovation Partner School, we'll be part of a network of campuses sharing best practices and resources, and our staff members and student leaders will work directly with the It's On Us staff to move "our programs and initiatives to the next level," says Marta Cady, associate dean of students.
