While rare, the chance of an emergency on campus is real and is one that we prepare for with detailed response plans and drills. In the event of an emergency, you’ll receive a text or email notification, hear an announcement over loudspeakers, and can find information on the university website with instructions and updates from campus leaders.
Our Security Services staff is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to assist you in the event you lose your keys, need an escort to or from campus, or experience an emergency
We strive to create an environment where sexual misconduct is unacceptable and reports of harassment, unwelcome sexual conduct, and discrimination are taken seriously.
