Safety
Workshops and Classes
The Department
of Public Safety offers a wide range of services and floor programs
that can be utilized by the college and residential life staff.
These programs are usually between one half hour and one hour in
length, but they can be modified to fit your needs. The residential
or organizing staff will be responsible for obtaining the location
for the presentation. They should also notify the residents or department
or organization members of the location and time of the program.
They can either post flyers throughout the hall or work area, or
the staff may verbally contact them. A list of some of the programs
Public Safety offers follows. If you have a topic that needs to
be addressed, please contact the Public Safety Office and every
effort will be made to provide a program designed for that need.
