There is limited space available, so sign up here as soon as you can.

Campus Public Safety would like to offer the following safety tips as we are enjoying warmer weather:

• Be sure to secure your windows!
  • If you want to sleep with open windows, buy some wooden dowels and cut them three inches shorter than the width of your window track.
  • Placing the dowel in your window track locks the window so that nobody can enter from the outside while still allowing cooler evening air to come into your room.
• Don’t prop exterior doors open, and be sure to close any exterior doors that you do find propped open.
• Do not allow anyone to enter your residence who isn’t accompanied by another resident.
• Walk in pairs at night, or call Campus Public Safety for an escort back to your residence.
• If you see somebody who doesn’t seem to belong on campus, contact Campus Public Safety immediately. Don’t wait!
  • Our officers will respond immediately and will have a better chance of making contact with the individual if you call right away.
