I started out at New York University, then transferred to New College and found my passion. I appreciate New College's 'build your own' approach to learning.

Victim Advocate Program

A Victim Advocate is available to victims of violence for support, crisis, intervention and referrals. To reach the advocate, simply page her at (941) 252-5156 and follow the instructions. She is available anytime someone is in need.

The Victim Advocate will assist by providing information, support and guidance in the following ways:
  1. Crisis intervention
  2. Emergency shelter, medical help and counseling referrals
  3. Assistance as needed
The program is available to assist all students, faculty and staff who have experienced actual or threatened violence, including but not limited to battery, assault, stalking, sexual battery (date rape, acquaintance rape, stranger rape) and attempted sexual assault.

For more complete information see: Related Definitions.

Police reports are strongly encouraged. However, reports are not required for information and referral assistance. Information shared with the Advocate is considered confidential and will go no further without permission from the individual involved.
