This resource guide provides easy access to information about sexual assault prevention and campus resources available to assist sexual assault survivors. College students are particularly vulnerable to sexual assault. New and varied social settings, a bewildering array of personal choices often faced for the first time, peer cultures that condone or encourage underage drinking or the excessive use of alcohol and other drugs, and an emphasis in popular culture on sexual activity from an early age without equal emphasis on conversations about informed consent all play a role in the prevalence of sexual assault on college campuses. Taking a few minutes to review this material and follow the prevention guidelines can help you maintain your own safety and security.
Please know that the offices and staff members listed in this guide are available to answer questions or assist you. Do not hesitate to seek us out if you or a friend is struggling with a recent or past incidence of sexual assault.
If you have questions or comments about the information contained in this guide please contact the dean of students office by phone at 585-4940 or by email at
