The staff member will connect the student to the appropriate support services and resources. The staff member will follow-up with the reporting party as needed. For any questions, the UTPB CARE Team representatives can be reached during business hours by calling the Office of the Dean of Students at 432-552-2600. A crisis or emergency involving a UTPB student should be reported to the UTPB Police Department by calling 432-552-2911.
