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.

Since SOC’s inception, it is evident that campus safety is most successful when the community encourages collaboration between campus staff, administration, students, parents, and community groups. National Campus Safety Awareness Month was built on the principle of students, staff, and parents collaborating to raise awareness about safety during September.
