Escorts are carefully screened and selected students employed by the Department of University Safety. All escorts undergo interpersonal communication and sensitivity training. However, escorts are not bodyguards and are not required to have defensive training. Escorts may be identified by their Escort Service ID badges and T-shirts or jackets. You will be given the name of your escort when you call.
All escorts carry two-way radios for quick dispatch and prompt services.
The Escort Service will provide you with a walking escort to or from any location within a reasonable walking distance of campus. Mobile escorts ending off-campus will be granted only to the residence of the person being escorted. Both mobile and walking service generally are limited to within a one mile radius of central campus. The dispatcher takes a request for an escort. It is not necessary to call in advance, as escorts are on duty, ready to be dispatched as needed.
