Safety is a major concern for our students and staff.
Especially since we are located in an urban setting, we ask all students and staff to focus on this basic need and to keep the environment free from distraction and disruption. The residence halls are locked, private facilities, staffed by security personnel at night to restrict access to residents and their guests. The public areas in the residence halls are monitored by a closed circuit television camera around the clock. We train our staff extensively in emergency procedures, work closely with the university's own police, and help students realize the role they play in maintaining safety in their environment. Campus Housing is connected to Safetynet through our involvement with the Advisory Committee, having Safetynet programs in the residence halls and sharing of resources and information among different university units and student groups.
