What to do if you are assaulted

Here some steps to take in the moments after you or someone you know has been assaulted. These are primarily focused on safety in the moment and immediately after an assault:

• Get to a safe place

• Find an RA or Residence Life staff member

• Contact Safety and Security

• Seek Medical Attention

• Contact counseling services for emotional support

If you contact Safety and Security, to report an assault, your case will be shared with the Meadville Police Department.  You will have a staff member from Allegheny College Dean of Student’s Office with you throughout the process. You will still have the choice to press charges or not through the Meadville Police Department.
