向执法部门报告

If you have been subjected to violence or other criminal acts, we encourage you to seek assistance from medical providers and/or law enforcement immediately, whether or not you choose to pursue criminal charges. This can include filing an incident report with the College’s Department of Public Safety and/or filing a report with your local law enforcement.
