Title IX Office

What to do if…

Goshen College is committed to protecting the welfare and safety of all community members. Toward this commitment, GC strives to provide an environment free of inappropriate treatment of individuals because of sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, documentation status, race, ethnicity, age, disability, genetic information, or any other basis protected by federal, state, or local law.If you or anyone you know experiences sexual assault, dating or domestic violence, or stalking, please get help immediately. There are on and off-campus resources designed to help you, and you may take a friend/advocate with you to use any of these resources.

See Goshen College’s Title IX Policy on Sexual Harassment and Assault (updated May 9, 2023)

For additional crisis and emergency information, contact Chad Coleman or Jodi Beyeler, Goshen College’s Crisis Management Coordinators, or Campus Safety at extension 7599. The role of Campus Safety is to monitor and report, not function as “first responders.” They will immediately investigate and contact 911 if needed.
