Crime Prevention

Various programs are designed to inform students and employees about campus safety procedures and practices.  These programs encourage students and employees to be responsible for their own personal safety.

• The University has established a standing Safety Committee to assist in reviewing, recommending and establishing policies, procedures and practices. The committee is made up of staff. An example of an on-going review is lighting surveys and occupational safety hazards.
• First year students are provided a security orientation program as well as material advising them of precautions they should follow to help avoid becoming victims of crime on the campus.
• Staff members are provided with public safety information at the new employee orientations which are held for new university staff and faculty members once a month.
• Crime prevention information and personal safety classes and programs are presented to student and staff groups throughout the year. Example:  personal safety tips and theft prevention practices.
