Our team
Reports can be made directly to the Title IX coordinator or to another member of the staff, faculty, or RA team who will share the necessary information with the coordinator. Confidential reports can be made to mental health counselors that COA contracts with or with the family nurse practitioner in COA’s health clinic. You can also talk with any of the following confidentially: a counselor off campus, with a medical practitioner, a religious leader, and someone at AMHC Sexual Assault Services (1-800-871-7741). If you feel you have been subjected to sexual misconduct or discrimination, please seek assistance as soon as possible. We are here to help.
