Campus Safety Awareness Month events being offered this week are as follows:

Public Safety Town Hall: Our Crime Prevention Officer will be hosting a Town Hall meeting for faculty and staff in Stern 206 on September 23rd starting at 2:30pm.  Come with any questions, comments, or concerns you may have and have an informal discussion with representatives of the Department of Public Safety.
