Now that fall weather is here and it gets dark shortly after 7 p.m., security services would like to remind you about our escort service. If you don’t have a buddy to walk with across campus, please call security at 503-554-2090 and an officer can escort you back to your vehicle or on-campus residence.

Please be aware of your surroundings when you do walk on campus or around town and do not wear ear buds/headphones when walking, as you need to be able to hear somebody approaching. If you see or notice anybody that seems out of place or who doesn’t “belong,” please call security as soon as possible and describe the person(s) and what they were wearing/driving. We are happy to check it out for you!

Calling all men who may have left athletic gear in the Wheeler Sports Center men’s locker room last spring: Your items were bagged and stored all summer, and now it’s time for you to claim them.
