Your safety is important to us. When you walk on campus or use a
parking facility please remember the safety tips below. Together, we
can make campus a safer place for everyone.
-
Walk confidently: look ahead and make eye contact.
-
At night, walk with a friend if possible. If you must walk
alone and you feel uncomfortable, contact campus security for an
escort.
-
Utilize the “Campus Safe Walk Program” by calling Campus
Security at (540) 678-4444. This program offers anyone that calls an
escort to and from the building.
-
If you are walking alone at night, wear a whistle around your
neck.
-
Do not wear a stereo headset when you are walking on campus.
-
Be aware of the people and environment around you.
-
If someone is following you, go to the nearest place where
there are other people.
-
Walk near the street curb. Avoid bushes, dark doorways, and
other places where someone could be concealed. Do not walk in
secluded areas.
-
Avoid short cuts. Take well traveled and well lit walkways.
-
Trust your instincts. If someone makes you uncomfortable, even
in daylight, do what is necessary to move away from them.
-
If you feel threatened by an approaching car, scream and run
in the opposite direction.
-
If you are returning to your vehicle, have your car keys
in hand before leaving your present location.
Remember, safety
and security is everyone's responsibility!! |
