Campus Security and the Long Weekend
Please help us keep campus secure over the long holiday weekend. Before leaving for the holiday, take a few minutes to check the following:
- Be sure your office doors and windows are pulled completely shut and locked.
- Lock valuables safely away or, better yet, take them home.
- Space heaters are strongly discouraged on campus. However, if you have one in your area, be sure it is turned off and UNPLUGGED. Coffee pots should also be unplugged.
If you plan to come in over the holiday weekend, please keep the following in mind:
- Campus is closed on Thursday and Friday and all buildings will be locked. If you do not have an exterior key for your building, you can call Public Safety at x1717 to be let in. Please be prepared to show photo ID if you are being let into a building.
- Do not prop doors open. Propped doors compromise the safety of people and property.
- Ideally, two or more people from the same work area will come in together. If you must work alone, consider calling Public Safety at x1717 and requesting a welfare check. An officer will stop in to check on you periodically.
The Department of Public Safety is staffed all day, every day, including holidays. Please feel free to call us a x1717 if we can be of assistance.
