Who Do I Contact Fact Sheet
The ABSc EDI committee has curated a 'resource list' for varying concerns that students, faculty, and staff may encounter on campus. Examples include contact information for the Campus Safety Office (campus police), Human Rights, Sexual Violence, Mental Health, Conflict Resolution etc. This list can be found at the following link: https://animalbiosciences.uoguelph.ca/sites/default/files/who_do_i_contact_-_fact_sheet_-_absc_edi_committee_-_v_oct_2023.pdf
It is always the hope that we do not have to make use of these resources, but in a crisis, it could be difficult to track down the correct information and so we hope you find this document useful.
