About Say Something

The Say Something program is coordinated by the Office of the Dean of Students. Say Something provides a centralized way for Ball State community members to report concerns and incidents or address observed difficulties that may impede a person's success at Ball State University.

Say Something provides centralized reporting and record-keeping of conduct by members of the University community, including but not limited to persons of concern, discrimination, and Title IX. Maxient software helps us connect important information related to community members' conduct and wellbeing to provide coordinated support for success.

Helping Students in Distress

As faculty and staff members, you may be the first to notice a student who is experiencing difficulty. However, you do not have to take on the role of counselor or diagnose a student. If appropriate, you may want to have a direct conversation with the student to gather more information and express your concern. We do recommend you offer resource referral information.
