It is never the fault of a victim when a crime occurs. Below are some safety considerations for students and community members:

  • Be careful and mindful of any valuables you may carry on your person
  • Be mindful of your surroundings
  • If confronted, give the perpetrator what they ask for. Your safety is more important.

While not required by the Clery Act for timely warnings, some incidents that happen off-campus may be sent to the campus community in the interest of public safety.
