Since 2023, the OWee and the student associations of the VerenigingsRaad have joined forces with Rutgers’ “Are You Okay?” campaign. Posters listing points of contact for reporting inappropriate behavior have been displayed at all events organized by both the OWee and the student associations. Campaign flyers have also been distributed to participants. 

During the OWee, people will be walking around wearing blue “captain’s armbands” with “Are You Okay?” on them for when participants feel uncomfortable. Because these armbands are uniform across all associations and events, they will be clearly recognizable. 

Participants in the OWee are divided into groups of about 10 students, each with two mentors. These mentors are upperclassmen and serve as the first point of contact for participants. They guide the participants during the first few weeks of their college experience and are paid by TU Delft. They sign an agreement and are required to complete a training program. During this training, the mentors receive information about their role as role models and their responsibilities, and they are trained to handle various situations effectively.

The OWee app will clearly explain where you can go for any kind of help or support during, and especially after, the OWee. In addition, the app will send a daily push notification during the OWee containing a survey with questions about how participants are feeling. The responses will be reviewed daily, and action will be taken if necessary.

At TU Delft, there is a daily walk-in consultation hour with the student psychologists from 12:45 to 1:45 p.m.

There is also a 24-hour option to contact the university for primary care in the unlikely event that someone experiences inappropriate behavior.

Confidential advisors are also available at TU Delft. You can contact them via this llink .
