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 all campus phones.
• 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: http://www.goshen.edu/studentlife/sexuality/
• 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.
