Sexual assault can happen anywhere-in a residence hall, for instance, or a classroom.
You may know your assailant well, or it may be someone you have never met or have never seen before. If you are sexually assaulted, get to a safe place. Telephone the University police and a friend or a family member. Sexual assault victims often feel terrified, angry, or ashamed, so it's important to seek the support and comfort of people with whom you have a close relationship. A professionally trained counselor can also help you sort out your emotions.
