University launches It Takes All Heels safety campaign

This month, Violence Prevention and Advocacy Services and Carolina Behavioral Assessment and Management are launching It Takes All Heels, a University-wide campaign to create a safer and more proactive campus community. Co-created with UNC Creative Designer Sharon Chung ’25 (MA), this initiative highlights the shared responsibility of students, faculty, staff and visitors in preventing violence.

“We developed this campaign to emphasize that safety isn’t just the job of one department or one group. It truly takes all Heels,” said Angel Gray, UNC threat assessment and management director. “When every Tar Heel knows how to recognize and respond to concerning behavior, we create a campus where people look out for one another.”
