You ask the student what is going on and she tells you that 4 weeks ago she was studying at the library one night and while walking to her car was approached by a stranger in a car asking for directions. When she leaned over to give directions she was pulled into the car and assaulted. The student didn't say everything earlier because she can't remember what the stranger looks like and is afraid no one would believe her. She is also afraid if she went to public safety rumors would spread around campus. NDMU Training 1/23/14

She can't remember if she said no. She doesn't know what to do. She is afraid if she tells residence life she will get in trouble for underage drinking and drug possession. She wants to know what to do. NDMU Training 1/23/14

What is your role? NDMU Training 1/23/14

How can you best help yourself? What are your resources? NDMU Training 1/23/14
