Welcome National Campus Safety Awareness Month 2009
 Campus life, whether students live off-campus, on-campus, or at home, brings with it a new sense of independence for most students. This includes class schedules, social events, dorm life, organizations, and jobs. With so many changes and adjustments students, and often their parents, forget about campus safety, not to mention their own safety. For many reasons, college campuses may feel safe because as a student, your peers surround you and dorms start to feel more like your bedroom at home. It is important to be sensible and aware of your surroundings.

New Campus Safety Regulations Proposed
 New proposed federal regulations that would overhaul how colleges and universities respond to and report campus emergencies, fires in student residences on campus, missing students and hate crimes were published this morning by the U.S. Department of Education. The new guidelines would implement new laws passed by Congress last year and reflect the most significant improvements to campus safety guidelines in a decade. The public will have an opportunity to comment through September 21, 2009.
Under the new guidelines colleges would, among other things, have to articulate how they will confirm “all hazards” emergencies on campus and issue immediate notifications to the affected segment or segments of their campus population. They will also have to report an expanded list of hate crime statistics including intimidation and theft.

Please Support The 2009 National Campus Safety Awareness Month Congressional Resolution
As the new school year approaches we’re eagerly preparing for another exciting National Campus Safety Awareness Month (NCSAM) in September! Each year since 2005 SOC has partnered with hundreds of college and universities to offer this life-saving campus safety education program at the beginning of the new school year.
Congressman Joe Sestak, who represents the district in Pennsylvania where our offices are located, has introduced H. Res. 90 "supporting the goals and ideals of" NCSAM. Now we need 50 co-sponsors by the end of June to make sure it gets taken up and passed by the full U.S. House of Representatives in time for September.
