UNCG Victim Assistance Program

 The victim assistance program is dedicated to assist any UNCG student, staff or faculty that is victim of a crime or traumatic incident. The initial help is crucial in a victim's recovery process. One of our goals is to help the victim to get from the “victim” mindset to a “victor” mindset.

You can reach the UNCG Police victim advocate, Cpl Rose Smith-Marsh, at (336) 334-5403 or email at her at Cpl Smith-Marsh. The primary goal of the victim advocate is to provide a support system to the victims, while trying to minimize the frustration that the victim may experience while they are going through the criminal justice process.

Special Programs

RAD - Rape Aggression Defense - (women only) - the only self defense program ever endorsed by the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA), the course offers a consistently structured, proactive approach designed to give women the skills and confidence needed to help survive an unexpected attack by a stranger or someone she knows.

SART - Sexual Assault Response Team - a term used to describe all of the professionals and volunteers who are involved in the care of a victim after a sexual assault. The SART realm can include medical and nursing staff, law enforcement, social workers, counselors, and community volunteers.

Safe Zone Ally - Our goal is to provide resources for students, faculty and staff who want to provide a safe, comfortable environment for anyone who seeks it in the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning (GLBTQ) community.

Domestic Violence Protection Orders- Our goal is to assist anyone who wishes to obtain an Order of Protection at the Clerk of Court's Office. There are many types of emotional, physical or sexual abuse where the victim and the offender are in a dating and or intimate relationship.
