Stop Abuse Against Women

The College of Saint Rose is committed to fostering and maintaining a safe environment for all of its students. Violence against women on campus is of particular concern and the College is responding by creating a multi-disciplinary, coordinated response to address the issues of sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking. The Stop Abuse against Women Project works to establish a culture on campus where violence against women is not tolerated, victims are supported and empowered, and offenders are sanctioned. With assistance from a grant from the Office of Violence against Women, Department of Justice we have partnered with community agencies and local law enforcement to provide education to the campus community, advocacy for victims of violence, and when possible prosecution of perpetrators of violent crimes against women.

Sexual Assault, Relationship Violence, and Stalking are frightening realities for anyone to have to face alone. But, you are not alone; there are people who will assist you in recovering. Saint Rose is concerned about your physical and mental well-being, and is ready to support you in dealing with the aftermath of any of these incidents. The Counseling Center can assist students who have experienced sexual assault, stalking or dating violence. Students may schedule a free and confidential appointment by calling 518-454-5200. Please inform the receptionist that you have a need to speak immediately to a counselor about an urgent situation. If it is after normal hours call Security at 518-454-5187 and ask that the counselor on-call or Area Coordinator be paged. Another resource to contact is the Victim Advocate who can be reached by calling 518-258-8342.
