Figure 18 shows that most clients who received services from the PATH to Care Center advocacy team were undergraduate students (65%), followed by graduate students (18%). Staff and postdocs made up 10% of clients. Faculty made up the smallest percentage at 3% of clients.

The fact that students have long made up the largest percentage of PATH to Care clients could be attributed to a number of factors. For one, undergraduate students experience harm at higher rates than graduate students, staff, and faculty (Figure 19, from the 2018 MyVoice Survey). In addition, some employees may mistakenly believe that the PATH to Care Center primarily or solely serves students. The PATH to Care Center and other campus partners have worked to correct this misperception in past years.
