Be Safe on Campus
Trust your instincts
See a suspicious person or situation?
See someone walking home alone?
Notice a friend missing from the group?
See someone who is under the influence and potentially in danger?
Don't be afraid to help or call 911! Even if they aren't your friend, the person you help today may help you or a friend tomorrow...
