The Compliance Administrators/Title IX Coordinators, Vina Chin (primary), at 310-434-8071, chin_vina@smc.edu and Karen Monzon, at 310-434-4942, monzon_karen@smc.edu can explain the college’s grievance procedures for addressing sexual misconduct complaints. You may also want to seek confidential counseling through the Center for Wellness and Wellbeing or through the EASE program for employees or seek support through off-campus services in the community.
