Tigers Share Because Tigers Care

Do Your Part

The “Tigers Share because Tigers Care” campaign encourages everyone to do their part to keep Clemson safe. If you see something, say something. Sharing information, taking action and engaging in bystander intervention shows that you care and creates a supportive environment for everyone.

Be an active bystander

When you see a situation that gives you a gut feeling that something isn’t right, you have the power to step in and prevent harm. Utilize the 3Ds of bystander intervention to interrupt harm and provide support.

  • Direct: Directly address the situation in the moment to de-escalate, either by addressing the person causing harm or supporting the person being harmed.
  • Delegate: Get help with intervening from friends, other bystanders, or people with more power in the situation.
  • Distract: Create a distraction that allows the person being harmed to leave the situation safely.
