Gonzaga University community members are strongly encouraged to report student behaviors that they feel are concerning or worrisome, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem.Early identification of a concern means being proactive, providing outreach and resources to students, and promoting a community of care for our campus.
Early intervention means rapid solutions: Often, a quick response to provide a distressed student with timely resources will ensure that the student remains successful academically. Late intervention often involves missed classes, isolation from friends and family, possible withdrawals or late drops and an overall interruption in the student’s experience.
Connecting the Dots: Our office receives reports from all over campus. Our ability to connect your concerns with the concerns of others means we can provide a greater level of support for each student involved.
We Care, You Care: Making a referral shows that you care enough to get the student the help they need. It means you are not prepared to let a student fall through the cracks. It means our community takes care of its members.
It Might Be Required: Under certain circumstances, faculty and staff are obligated to report acts of violence and other threatening behaviors.
