The I Care Team is made up of a group of Washington & Jefferson College staff and faculty who are interested in the safety and welfare of each member of the W&J community as a whole. Please know that any information you submit will be handled confidentially, with the purpose of assisting the student you have named. Although we do accept "anonymous" reports, we encourage you provide your name and contact information so we can follow-up with you about any additional information that may be needed to assist in the best way possible.

Thank you – The I Care Team.
