ADMINISTRATOR ON CALL (AOC)

The Administrator on Call (AOC) is available to provide support to all Brown undergraduate, graduate, and medical students in need of immediate assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Administrator on Call is an on-campus staff member from the division of Campus Life. In addition to providing students with immediate support and referrals, the AOC can be the main point of contact for faculty, staff, family members, or other members of the Brown community when there is a concern for a student’s health, safety, or wellness. The AOC can assist with problem-solving, resourcing, and gathering information so that the appropriate offices can provide timely and coordinated follow-up with the student at that time or during the next business day.
