Brave BU is a campus-wide campaign to empower students to act of care for themselves and each other around issues of sexual misconduct, alcohol and/or drug abuse, harassment and bias, suicide prevention and mental health. Just as Knights are courageous, strong, and loyal, Bellarmine community members have a rich tradition of loyalty and commitment to each other. BraveBU seeks to encourage all Bellarmine students, faculty and staff to take steps to prevent harm to fellow community members. BraveBU programs will raise awareness and encourage each Bellarmine Knight to support a "culture of care" for their peers.
