Campus Security

Security is a shared responsibility between the Dean of Students, Chief of Security and the Director of Buildings and Grounds.

Local law enforcement provides quick response to security needs upon request.

Each year, the university provides programming and activities designed to make people aware of safety risks and issues. Safety and security programs offered may include, but are not limited to, self-defense, home security, sexual assault, domestic violence and substance abuse.
