The same good sense that can help keep your property secure also can help keep you safe. Remember that just being on campus is not sufficient protection. Don't put yourself into a victim's position.
Lock up!
- Keep your residence hall room door locked regularly, even when
you're home, and especially when you are sleeping or showering.
- Don't prop open the door to a locked campus building or residence
hall.
- Close your curtains or blinds after dark.
- Keep your car doors locked and the windows up -- when the car is parked
and when you are driving.
Don't Walk Alone After Dark
Students, faculty and staff can call for a security escort by calling
748-8703. This service is provided primarily for students who park
their vehicles in the parking lots on the west section of campus.
However, other individuals who feel insecure or threatened by walking
alone on cmapus after dark may use this service. A member
of the Plant Department staff or our contract security provider
will respond to your request. This service and number is available
for use 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Whenever possible, you should try to always have an acquaintance with you when traveling on campus after dark.
Be Cautious and Prepared
Be aware of your surroundings. Know what your resources are, and make yourself familiar with them.
