Campus Issues 

Issues of campus safety that colleges and universities face take many forms. As a part of NCSAM we've sought to identify some of the topics that campuses can be particularly susceptible to.  

When leaders from student clubs, fraternities/sororities, athletic teams, falculty, the student body, administration engage in education, clear communication, and healthy behaviors, others in the community will hopefully follow.

 

     General Safety Tips

 

§        Be aware of your surroundings, including people, visualize potential exit routes from an event or location in case of ER. Know safe and direct routes to campus destinations.

§        Try not to walk alone after dark. If you do, try to utilize well-lit and populated routes on campus. 

§        Keep ER numbers in cell phone or by your landline phone, including that of your RA, campus safety, and health services.

§        Trust your instincts, especially when you feel that something is "not right."

§        Be aware of what you post on the internet, especially online social networks like Facebook and Myspace. You can never be sure of who is viewing your personal information or pictures, stalkers, employers, recruiters, family.

§        Do not prop open campus building doors, especially residential buildings. Remove props and report the problem to an RA or campus safety.

 

§        Do not accept drinks from strangers as they could be easily contaminated with a drug.

 

§        Try to avoid being alone in areas of campus that can often be empty or isolated such as basement laundry rooms, study lounges, etc.

 

§       If you notice another person in danger follow your school's safety and security procedures and call 911. Do not engage another person who has a weapon or involve yourself in a fight.
