Need someone to confide in?

Help and support is available for students who want to talk in detail about their assault, but are not sure if they are ready to report it to the University.

Students should speak to a confidential reporter. These include:

• Physicians and Nurses/Davison Health Center (on call 24/7)
• Psychologists/Counseling and Psychological Services (on call 24/7)
• Chaplains/Office of Religious and Spiritual Life
• These members of the community are protected legally because of their professions. The only report they are compelled to submit is a record that a student (whose name they do not have to disclose) has reported a sexual assault or misconduct to them.
