About SART
Ask the SART (Sexual Assault Response Team) is an online service for members of the 5X社区 community through which trained staff from Kent State鈥檚 Sexual Assault Response Team and SRVSS Office provide information, support and referrals for survivors of power-based personal violence (sexual assault, relationship abuse and stalking) and their friends and allies.
The SART is comprised of professionals from Counseling and Psychological Services, the Women鈥檚 Clinic at the Health Center, Public Safety, Office of Student Conduct, Title IX and the SRVSS Office. We can answer questions related to health, well-being, safety, university policy and support.
