Sexual Assault Coordinator

Sexual Assault Team Members


A Sexual Assault Response Team has been designated by the Division of Student Affairs to handle sexual assault cases. The team includes a coordinator and designated individuals from the University Police Department, the Longest Student Health Center, and the Counseling Center. For information or to report a sexual assault case, anyone, including students and any member of the university community, may contact the Sexual Assault Response Team Coordinator at 325-2091.

The Sexual Assault Response Team is available to help anyone who reports a violation of the sexual assault policy. The Sexual Assault Response Team can provide crisis intervention, assessment, direct support, and referral for the victim and the accused. The Sexual Assault Response Team is also responsible for coordinating prevention education on campus. For more information or to request programming call the Sexual Assault Services Graduate Assistant at 325-9101 during the fall and spring semesters. During the summer months contact the Coordinator for further information.

Any university employee receiving a report of sexual assault should refer the matter to the Coordinator of the Sexual Assault Response Team. In the absence of the Coordinator, referral to any team member is appropriate. The Coordinator will discuss options and resources with the person reporting the sexual assault. A student may choose to use the university judicial process in cases involving another student, whether the incident occurred on or off campus.
