If You’re Having a Hard Time

As a member of the SEU faculty, I would like to see you be successful in all areas of your life.  If something difficult happens in your personal life, you are welcome to reach out to me, and I will do my best to help you find the support that you need.  You should know, though, that there are certain types of information that (as a mandated reporter) I have to share with other members of the faculty/administration.  This includes:

• If a student shares that she or he is planning to, or has already, hurt him/herself or others.
• Sexual misconduct, ¹ including:

a. Sexual harassment
b. Nonconsensual sexual contact
c. Nonconsensual sexual intercourse
d. Sexual exploitation
