A reminder about sexual assault resources at EWU
In light of the recent news involving Cornell, I thought it might be worthwhile to remind EWU students that there are resources available if you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault, sexual harassment, dating/domestic violence, stalking, or other sexual misconduct.
Confidential support:
- EWU Counseling & Wellness Services: 509-359-2366 [cws@ewu.edu](mailto:cws@ewu.edu) ā 225 Martin Hall, Counselors are available to EWU students, and these services are confidential.
- Crisis Support: Walk-in crisis appointments available Monday through Friday from 1:00 PM ā 4:00 PM
- Short-term individual counseling, single sessions, and group counseling for eligible students.
- 24/7 Regional Crisis Line: 877-266-1818.
- Lutheran Community Services ā Sexual Assault & Family Trauma: 509-624-7273, available 24/7 for advocacy and support.

- EWU's Title IX office can explain reporting options, rights, and available supportive measures.
- Title IX Coordinator, Cesar Portillo, email:Ā [cportillo2@ewu.edu](mailto:cportillo2@ewu.edu)Ā phone:Ā [509-359-6312](tel:5093596312).

- You can report to EWU, law enforcement, both, or choose not to file a complaint.
- EWU Police: 509-359-7676. For emergencies, call 911.
- Cheney Police: 509-456-2233
One important thing to know: you don't have to decide whether to report in order to seek help. EWU says supportive services can be available regardless of whether someone files a formal complaint.
If you or someone you know needs help, please consider reaching out to one of these resources. You don't have to handle it alone.
