Programs

Our safety awareness programs serve as opportunities to share information about campus safety and also gain feedback about ways we can enhance our services.

We conduct a variety of programs including:

• Student/Employee Orientations
  • During orientation, we give presentations to students and
    employees to familiarize them with our department and
    procedures. Additionally, we offer suggestions on maintaining
    personal safety that can be used on campus, at home or in general.
• Listening Circles
  • We host meetings with students, administrators, faculty and staff to
    discuss safety concerns and suggestions for collaborative initiatives.
• Coffee with the Cops
  • Coffee with the Cops provides informal interaction between
    our department and the University community at various
    campus locations. We do this by serving free coffee and snacks
    to our students, faculty and staff who stop by while walking on
    campus or in our buildings.
• Opportunity Knocks
  • Our team and the residential life staff tour residence halls, knock
    on students' doors and have informal discussions about strategies
    to maintain their personal safety on campus and in the community.

 

We offer several Self-Empowerment options:

• RAD (Rape-Aggression-Defense) is a course for women only.
  Students can enroll in an accredited two-credit course through
  the Department of Kinesiology. Certified RAD instructors
  from Campus Safety Services and partnering departments
  teach this course.
  An introductory self-defense program can be conducted
  upon request with one of our certified RAD instructors.
