Women's Center staff provide confidential assistance, including crisis counseling, support, referral, and advocacy, to students in crisis. The office can assist students in gaining the services and information they need. Also, if a student wants to report a sexual assault or rape without going to the police, this office can take the report and can assist in determining appropriate university action. The Crisis Center provides crisis intervention, advocacy, counseling, emergency transportation, and also has a 24-hour hotline number. Victims can also stay at the shelter if they fear going back to their own home.
Staff are also available to accompany victims to the hospital and to court.
Emergency services are available to those who are experiencing an emotional crisis. Crime prevention brochures, posters, and handouts are used to inform members of the campus community about the potential for crime. The police department works with the campus newspaper and local media to inform the community about reported criminal offenses. By dialing 395-SAFE, a team of two escorts will meet the caller and walk with them to the campus destination and up to six blocks off campus. The major purpose of the KSU Alcohol and Other Drug Education Service office is to provide information on the physical effects and social issues related to alcohol and other drug use.
