October 30, 2024
Northwestern University is asking its community to help locate a doctoral student, Peter Salvino, 25, who was reported missing Sunday by his family. University representatives are in contact with Peter’s family and share with his parents and friends their serious concern for his safety and overall well-being.
The Chicago Police Department (CPD) is leading the investigation, and CPD has stated that Salvino was last seen around 12:15 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 18, near the 800 block of West Lill Avenue in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. Salvino was last known to have left a party in the 2400 block of North Geneva Terrace while wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt and maroon pants.
Northwestern’s Police Department will support Chicago Police in their investigation efforts.
If you or someone you know has information that could help locate Salvino, CPD asks you to call (312) 744-8266.
Salvino is a Ph.D. candidate in the Northwestern University Interdepartmental Neuroscience program.
Northwestern encourages students, faculty and staff to use, and share, the resources below if you or someone in our community is in need of support.
- Students can connect with Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), which provides mental health services for undergraduate and graduate students on the Evanston and Chicago campuses.
- CAPS offers crisis support (for those needing to speak to someone immediately) and the TimelyCare virtual mental health support platform.
- Faculty, staff and postdoctoral trainees can access the Employee Assistance Program, which provides a network of services including free and confidential short-term counseling.
- All members of the Northwestern community can access Religious and Spiritual Life, where chaplains are available to talk confidentially and provide support.
