Title IX and interpersonal violence
MSUM publishes a Title IX / Dean of Students path and points to 911 or Public Safety in an emergency. For advocacy off campus, Sollera (formerly Rape and Abuse Crisis Center) serves this metro. Help Me is not a confidential reporter and not an advocate.
Neighbor help is a different door
If Public Safety will jump the car on campus, call them. If you are in a public Fargo lot, a helper may be the neighbor tool. Do not mix the two in your head when you are scared — official first.
Where Help Me fits
Help Me is for a neighbor's help in a public lot or a hallway. For official campus services, call Public Safety.
Helpers can apply to be reviewed by our team. Help Me does not run background checks. Help Me is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
