Spelman College Partners with HERide to Enhance Campus Safety and Support Services

The months between the beginning of the fall semester and Thanksgiving break, known as The Red Zone, are when sexual assault cases on college campuses are at their highest. To provide its students with the utmost support during this historically dangerous time, Spelman College, a historically Black women’s college in Atlanta, Georgia, has recently partnered with HERide to enhance campus safety.

HERide is a rideshare service that is dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and woman-friendly transportation for both drivers and passengers. During Campus Safety Month in September, representatives from HERide, The Red Zone Initiative, and Spelman College will collaborate on a series of events to promote campus safety. Additionally, HERide will offer Spelman students an opportunity to become HERide drivers, providing them with flexible working hours to earn an income while pursuing their education and contributing to a safer campus environment.

Spelman College is committed to creating a safe environment for our community, which is why we have historically designed Red Zone awareness and prevention initiatives to help eliminate sexual violence,” said Jaray Mazique, director of Title IX and compliance at Spelman. “We are excited to partner with HERide to enhance our efforts through safer ride share options and community events.”
