• Go where you feel safe: Go to a friend’s place, RA’s room, family residence, or a public place.
• Consider calling someone: Call a friend, family member, RA, or a coach.
• Consider receiving medical attention: Our closest hospital is William Newton Hospital and they have a sexual assault nurse examiner. The address is 1305 East 5th Avenue and the contact information is 620-222-6231 and sane@wnmh.org.

• Consider filing a report with Southwestern College: While the school and police department are separate, one can still file a report for the incident to go through the student conduct process. Please call Student Life at 620-229-6391.
• Consider seeking support: Talking with a friend, relative, RA or counselor could help to deal with the emotions and trauma of the assault.
