Although our campus is well-lit, members of the campus community may feel more comfortable using the campus escort service when returning to their vehicles or residence halls late at night. Room doors should be locked at night and when they are unoccupied. Valuable items such as stereos, cameras, radios or televisions left in residence hall rooms or in offices should be marked with an engraving instrument with an identifying number or mark. Purses or wallets should not be left in rooms or offices in plain view when they are readily accessible to the public. Vehicles parked on campus should be locked and valuables locked in the trunk at all times.
Thefts do occur during the daytime.
Any suspicious looking individuals whom you believe do not belong in your building, or any unusual incident in and around your building should be reported to the Office of Safety and Security. The community houses more than 500 students in five residence halls. All Residence Life staff members undergo thorough training in the enforcement of Residence Life security policies. They participate in lectures and seminars, associated with the safety and security of the campus, conducted by college administrators and campus Safety and Security personnel. Services and programs intended to enhance the quality of life and to assure the safety and security of the resident student body are a major priority for the Residence Life administrators and staff.
