Drake University has launched a new Title IX website.  Phase I of the website development is complete and offers contact information, reporting options, policies and procedures, resources, and ways to find or offer help for a survivor. Title IX Coordinator Kathryn Overberg will continue adding to the site this spring and summer, but the site is live and ready for use!

You will also find a new resource guide available for a quick reference of reporting and resource options as well as a summary of the student adjudication process.  You can find the resource guide on the Title IX website—use the guide for your own information or as a way to offer support to a friend.

There is a new way to contact the Title IX office as well: TitleIX@drake.edu.

Finally, remember that Drake now offers a confidential advocate on campus  during the semester on Tuesdays 2:30–4:30 p.m. in Cowles Library, Room 109. The final date this semester will be May 10 and will then resume in the Fall semester. At other times students or employees can call or text the VIP hotline at 515-512-2972 for referral to a confidential advocate.
