Campus Assessment Team (CAT)

CAT aims to identify, assess, and respond to members of the college community who are either emotionally disturbed and/or pose a threat to themselves.

If you are not sure who to call, any of those listed here will be happy to help get you pointed in the right direction and advise you of any referral or additional steps that may need to be taken.

Submit a WIF report to notify the CAT team with concerns about the well-being or safety of students or community members who display:

• patterns of unusual behavior
• profoundly disruptive or bizarre behavior
• substance abuse, misuse or erratic medication
• emotionally troubled behavior
• hostile, aggressive or relationally abusive behavior
• ideation or infatuation with violence, suicide or risk-taking behavior

For additional information, you may contact Dr. Scott Peska, Assistant Provost of Student Services, speska@waubonsee.edu, (630) 466-2363.

When you submit a WIF report, Assistant Provost of Student Services will review it for further investigation. After the investigation is conducted, it may be necessary for the Campus Assessment Team (CAT) to conduct its own investigation.

CAT will investigate and assess threats and threatening behavior based on the NaBITA model (2014).
