Campus Safety Tips

     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!!
