Even if you are questioning or unsure, it's always better to talk to someone about a person or situation of concern. Recognizing and reporting early signs of a potentially dangerous situation is crucial to violence prevention. Your participation is the first step to keeping our campus safe.
We offer many educational and support resources to help, whether you want to:

- Report a threatening or potentially dangerous person or situation
- Help a friend
- Seek counseling
- Pursue police action, personal protection or disciplinary measures
- Find resources to help you out of a threatening and potentially violent situation, including violent or abusive relationships.
No matter the situation, we highly encourage you to talk to one of our reporting & counseling resources.
