Security Awareness and Crime Prevention Programs

Emergency procedures are published annually in the Student Handbook, Faculty-Staff Directory, and Faculty Manual. Security presentations are made at orientations for new students and employees. The Campus Safety Department coordinates crime prevention presentations by local police agencies.

The housing staff is trained in security procedures and awareness. Professional counselors provide training and programs in several areas including rape awareness and drug and alcohol abuse for the housing staff as well as other members of the university community.

The most common security incident is the loss of personal items left unattended. Signs posted in places such as the Library and periodic publications remind students and employees to protect their personal property. The University accepts no responsibility for the loss of any personal property of students or employees.

Special alerts are distributed to inform the university community of a major crime or crime potential when circumstances warrant.
