Many of us followed yesterday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing and heard the testimony of Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh. For some of us, strong emotions were raised by what we heard. We want to let you know that there are resources at USC to help you process your responses.
If you were in the past or currently are affected by a situation related to gender and power-based harm, you can receive confidential on-call counseling from USC’s Relationship and Sexual Violence Prevention and Services (RSVP), which you can reach by calling (213) 740-4900.
If you are concerned for a fellow student or friend, and you would like advice on how to navigate this environment as you support that person, you can connect with USC’s Student Counseling Services by requesting an appointment at usc.edu/myshr.
As always, your student services team in your program office wants to know how you are doing and welcomes hearing from you, or you can call me directly at (213) 821-1515.
Best wishes,
Jessica Gibson
