Off-Campus Counseling and Advocacy Resources

The University encourages all members of the University community to report any incident of

Sexual Misconduct. The University recognizes, however, that not every person will choose to

make a formal report to the University or with local law enforcement. For those who are not

prepared to pursue a Complaint, or use the services provided by the University, students and

employees may access resources located in the local community. All members of the University

Community are encouraged to utilize the resources available on or off-campus that are best
