Education and Prevention

In a variety of ways, the college educates, informs, and promotes safety awareness on-campus. Some of these programs are:

A master plan for campus lighting was developed and additional outdoor light fixtures installed.
Landscape changes have been made to remove safety hazards near campus sidewalks.
The telephone numbers for campus security, police, fire and ambulance are affixed to campus phones in public entry ways.
Residence hall staff addresses issues of safety and security with residents and collaborates with others to plan educational programs.
A “Sexuality Packet”, which addresses rape, self-defense and personal safety, and alcohol and sexual decision-making, is available to all students, faculty and staff.
Self-defense training is offered to women periodically on campus.
Bicycle owners are encouraged to register their bikes with the city. This can be done at the physical plant.
The Campus Health and Wholeness Committee and First-year Colloquium are channels for educational programming.
An ad hoc campus security committee is appointed as needed to review security policies and procedures and to recommend changes and improvements.
