Your Support
Thank you in advance for your participation in keeping the campus safe and secure.
It is very important to have supportive collaboration from the University Community, by participating in safety and security awareness, everyone within the University Community can be alert for unusual or suspicious behaviors, and notify the Police. Your cooperation and support is critical, as we are an open educational community where students, faculty and staff are on campus many hours of the day and night. In its urban setting, the University shares many of the same safety and security concerns as major metropolitan areas. It is for this reason that the University Community must take safety seriously.
