You Are Not Alone: Support and Reporting Options for Students at Pacific
Ongoing violence and harm in our broader culture can weigh heavily on individuals and communities, especially those who have experienced harm themselves. We want every Pacific student to know that you are not alone and that caring, supportive people are available to listen, help you understand your options, and support you in deciding what feels right for you.
Pacific is committed to creating a community where survivors are treated with dignity and care, concerns are taken seriously, and reports of sexual misconduct, relationship violence, stalking, harassment, discrimination, and other harmful behavior receive thoughtful and appropriate attention. You do not need to make a formal report to receive support, and you do not have to navigate any of these options alone.
Confidential Support
If you would like to talk with someone without making a university report, confidential support is available.
Confidential Advocacy Network
Confidential advocates support students who have experienced sexual assault, relationship violence, stalking, or other gender-based harm. They can listen, help you consider your options, connect you with resources, and support you whether or not you choose to make a report.

Additional Support
Office of Student Support
The Office of Student Support can help students navigate academic, personal, safety, and basic-needs challenges and connect with helpful resources. Students may seek assistance for themselves, or someone else may submit a when concerned about a student.
The Office of Student Support is a caring resource that will respect your privacy but is required to make certain reports and so is not considered a confidential resource.
Reporting Your Concerns
You may choose to make a report now, later, or not at all. A confidential advocate can help you understand these options before you decide.
Reports of sexual harassment, sexual assault, relationship violence, stalking, and other sex- or gender-based discrimination may be made to the Title IX Office.
Students, faculty, and staff may use this form to report protected-class bias, discrimination, harassment, sexual misconduct, or related retaliation. Reports may also be submitted anonymously, although anonymity may limit the university鈥檚 ability to follow up.
Campus Climate Reports help Pacific provide support, understand concerns affecting our community, and determine an appropriate response. Depending on the circumstances, that response may include outreach and care, education or restorative action, or referral to the appropriate university process for further review or investigation.
Questions about either reporting process may be directed to:
Jill Moffitt, Ed.D.
Title IX Coordinator and Campus Climate Report Coordinator

Pacific prohibits retaliation against anyone who seeks support, makes a report, assists another person, or participates in a university process.
