Safety Tips

• Do not engage in conversation with people who make you feel threatened.
• Being alone and under the influence of alcohol and drugs makes you more of a target to assailants.
• Never drive (or ride with anyone) under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
• Lock vehicle and store valuables and books in the trunk or out of sight.
• Never leave personal items such as books, purses, computers or electronic equipment unattended anywhere on campus.  when possible, leave these items at home or locked in the trunk of your vehicle if they are not needed during work or class.
• Walk with others to and from class when possible; there is safety in numbers.
• Use well-lighted areas and walkways.
• When walking to or from your vehicle, scan the area for suspicious subjects.  If something makes you uncomfortable, walk to an area where other people are. Call Department of Public Safety for and escort at ext. 2272.
• If you are confronted be an armed assailant, the decision to comply or resist is a personal one.  Any property you may have is not worth your life.
• Keep your keys ready when approaching your vehicle to reduce the time it takes to enter.
• When driving at night, keep your doors locked and windows up.  Check the interior of the vehicle visually before attempting to enter your vehicle.
• When stopped at a traffic signal, maintain space between you and the vehicle in front of you so you can pull away if necessary.
• Trust your intuition.  Call Department of Public Safety at ext. 2272 to report any suspicious activity on campus.
