Keep Our Campus Safe
The Emergency Response Team is launching a new series of information sessions to help employees Keep Our Campus Safe!
These free information sessions are brief and to the point on a variety of safety-related topics relevant to our campus community. They are being offered to all faculty and staff in the hopes that attendees will be better informed about various safety issues. They will be held the 4th week of each month (when possible) in the Youderian Missional Center (N3079) on both a Friday morning and a Monday afternoon to increase the possibility of attending a session on each topic.
All employees are welcome! An RSVP to Sheree Meader will help with planning, but feel free to attend even if you are not able to RSVP beforehand.
