Other On-campus Resources

It is your right to have an advisor (an individual available to support you) present with you for all meetings with the Title IX Office and Title IX proceedings.  The Title IX Office maintains a pool of trained process advisors from which you may choose, or you may choose a non-trained advisor from outside the pool, if preferred, or proceed without an advisor.  Your advisor may be a friend, mentor, family members, attorney, or any other supporter you choose; however, having a support person is not mandatory.  In the event a report goes to an investigation, your support person cannot also serve as a witness. 

Trained Advisors

The following trained advisors of the Title IX Office are available to provide support, act as process advisors, and take intake reports on behalf of the Title IX Coordinator and Deputy Coordinator.
