Student and Employee Responsibility

The cooperation and involvement of students and employees are key to the success of a campus safety program. They must assume responsibility for their own personal safety and the security for their personal belongings by taking simple, common sense precautions.

Precautions might include:

• the use of the SAFE TEAM escort service when traveling alone at night;
• room door should be locked at night and whenever unoccupied;
• valuable items such as stereos, televisions, and cameras should be marked with engraving instruments, which are available free of charge at Public Safety;
• bikes should be registered with Public Safety and secured with a sturdy lock;
• cars should be locked and parked in well-lit areas with valuables placed in the trunk.

All students, faculty and staff should report suspicious looking individuals or any unusual incidents to the Department of Public Safety.
