Whether it is your first time on campus or last semester, it is good to know of all resources available on campus to keep you safe and healthy. Our priority toward campus well-being starts with advertising of the many services our own Police Department and Safety and Risk Management office provides; in addition, many of our own staff are representatives, advocates or participants with other programs across campus.
