Gender Violence Services Coordinators

The Gender Violence Services Coordinators (GVSCs) provide free, confidential support and advocacy for students, faculty, and staff of all identities who have been impacted by sexual violence, interpersonal violence, stalking, and sexual or gender-based harassment.

The GVSCs hold drop-in hours in the LGBTQ Center on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month from 3-5 pm when the University is operating under normal conditions. More information about GVSC support and services can be found on our website.
