Title IX Confidential Employees

There are people on campus who you can talk to confidentially. These people have no responsibility to take action, report to law enforcement, or report to the Interim Title IX Coordinator the information you share with them, so long as the individual is acting in their role as a counselor or medical provider at the time you share your concerns with them. If you share your concerns with these people when they’re acting in their roles, Bristol will not conduct an investigation unless you inform campus authorities of your concerns, or the college learns about your situation from another person.

For students, the confidential employees are:

Jill Apicerno, Mental Health Counselor.

Mary Kate Flynn, Mental Health Counselor.

Meredith Whitmore, Associate Director of Student Advocacy.
