Announcements
Posted: Thursday, February 21, 2008Message from Hal D. Payne, Vice President, Student Affairs
With last week's tragedy on the campus of Northern Illinois University, we are reminded that safety awareness is a shared concern for all members of our campus community. For that reason, I am announcing the start of the "Care Enough to Call" awareness campaign. This campaign has the goal of making information about who to contact readily available so it can be located and used at the time it is needed, namely, whenever there is a concern about potential risk to personal or campus safety that might result from a student’s behavior.
Care Enough to Call intends to help all of us (1.) accept our responsibility to do something about our concerns and (2.) offer guidance about how to respond appropriately. This link provides information developed to initiate the campaign. I urge you to keep this information readily available and, more importantly, to act on any uncertainties or concerns you might have by calling the appropriate office. Working together, we can help ensure a safe environment for all.
