First and foremost, thank you to everyone who has contributed to making National Campus Safety Awareness Month a success. We look forward to your continued participation throughout the remainder of the month. Here are a few things to pass along from the Department:
- In response to a suggestion from one of our faculty members, we will now be posting road closures on the Public Safety webpage. This information will include the street name, the date it will be closed, and the time frame in which there will be restricted vehicular access. As we receive street blocking permits, we will update the information here.
- As part of the Department’s commitment to enhancing the relationship with students, faculty, and staff, we have launched an “Ask an Officer” feature to our website. By filling out a simple form, you can ask a question to Public Safety, even anonymously. One of our officers will respond to you promptly.
- As part of September’s National Campus Safety Awareness Month, Public Safety has hosted several town hall meetings for the campus community. Our last session will be held on September 23rd at 2:30pm in Stern 206. This is open to all faculty and staff members. This is a great opportunity to meet your Public Safety officers, ask questions, and share suggestions, comments, and concerns. As always, I encourage you to actively participate in safety and security around campus, so I anticipate a good turnout! All sessions will be held in Stern Center room 206. Refreshments and snacks will be served.
- Be social with us! If you have not already, please follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for departmental news, upcoming events, and other important information. If you are having trouble accessing our pages, please make sure you are signed into your social media account.
Crime Prevention Tip:
Do your part to keep our campus secure. When leaving your residence hall or office, be sure to lock the door behind you. Also, avoid propping doors. This can lead to unauthorized visitors having access to our campus buildings.
As always, please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns.
