SEXUAL ASSAULT RESOURCE COORDINATOR TEAM (SARC)

Sexual Assault Resource Coordinator Team logo

The Sexual Assault Resource Coordinator (SARC) team is a group of ²ÝÁñÉçÇø staff and faculty members who care deeply about the issue of sexual violence and have completed extensive training on how to support survivors of sexual violence at ²ÝÁñÉçÇø.

An On-Campus Resource

A member of the SARC team is on available Monday-Friday, 9 am-5 pm for ²ÝÁñÉçÇø students who need support following an incident of sexual violence. Whether the incident occurred recently or days, weeks, months, even years ago, ²ÝÁñÉçÇø students can always seek the support of a SARC at 484-343-6028 or sarc@villanova.edu.

What We Do

Even though "sexual assault" is in our name, a SARC can review the options available to a survivor of any form of sexual violence, including sexual assault, sexual exploitation, stalking, sexual harassment, dating violence, domestic violence, retaliation, incest, and statutory rape.

A SARC can connect a student to a variety of resources including medical care, reporting and counseling.
