Notre Dame's Sexual Assault Resource Persons

Ava Preacher, Associate Director of the Office of Arts and Letters Undergraduate Study, and Cathy Pieronek, Assistant Dean in Engineering, are the University’s Sexual Assault Resource Persons. They provide victims and survivors with a safe and confidential place to learn about University resources and options available to them.

In addition to assisting with academic or administrative matters, they can help you get the support you need, either on or off campus. The Sexual Assault Resource Persons can also provide you with information about the procedures that apply if you choose to report the incident to the Office of Residence Life and Housing and/or what is entailed in civil and criminal investigation and adjudication processes.

You can contact the Sexual Assault Resource Persons by calling 574-631-7728 24 hours a day/7 days a week.
