Suicide touches us all regardless of ability, age, gender identity, race, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, and more. This 2-hour experiential training aims to increase knowledge about statistics, risk and protective factors, warning signs, and campus resources concerning college student suicide. It will enable participants to demonstrate kindness and empathy towards others, helping them to respond caringly and effectively to those experiencing a wide range of emotional crises. Visit go.rutgers.edu/Campus-Connect for more information, campus-wide training dates, or to schedule a closed session with your group or student organization.

Rutgers is a community that cares. We DO SOMETHING when we are concerned about one of our community members. We understand that there are times when a student’s journey of learning and growth may become rough along the way. These rough points may be personal, emotional, psychological, academic, substance use, or other types of challenges that may interfere with their ability to succeed and thrive at the university. There are times when people may observe a behavior and feel concerned. These concerns may be part of a larger story for a student facing challenges. Thus, it is important to Do Something and share your concerns so that the student can get assistance as soon as possible before the issues grow too large.

A Community Concern Report is not for an emergency. For any concern requiring immediate attention, contact RUPD 732-932-7211 or 911.

Any student who experiences sexual harassment, sexual violence, stalking, or relationship violence is encouraged to report incidents to the Title IX Office and to seek support from the confidential resources available on our campus and in the local community.

All currently enrolled students — graduate, undergraduate, full-time, or part time - attending Rutgers–New Brunswick and Rutgers Health nursing and pharmacy — can receive legal advice regarding any legal issue, no matter when it happened, where it happened, or who was involved. All in-house consultations are free with a New Jersey licensed attorney and strictly confidential with full attorney-client privilege. Students can also be referred to attorneys from the Approved Referral Program administered jointly with the Middlesex County Bar Association who agree to represent students for reduced fees. Other services include notary, educational outreach, and pre-law advice. Consultations are by appointment only and no legal advice can be given over the phone. Service is not available to any faculty/staff or alumni of the university.

As part of the University's mission to improve safety on campus, the Rutgers University Police Department (RUPD) is launching Rave Guardian, a free mobile safety app designed to help faculty, staff, students and guests stay connected and access important campus safety resources. The app is available for use by all Rutgers University students, faculty, staff, and guests who are subscribed to the university’s Emergency Notification System (ENS).

The app is replacing the current Text-to-RUPD service so all messages sent to 69050 will no longer reach the Rutgers Police Department.
