In times of crisis, countless University of Virginia students have turned to Associate Dean Nicole Eramo. From her campus office in Peabody Hall, Eramo counsels young adults — mostly women — in the aftermath of what is in most cases the darkest moment of their lives: deciding what to do after they have been sexually assaulted. “All the things she did and continues to do are really in the best interest of students,” said Emily Renda, a 2014 graduate who said Eramo supported her as a student seeking to come to terms with her own rape on campus.
