Purdue Safety Forum
I just got back from my last beat assignment/meeting for the semester - the Purdue Safety forum.The turnout was larger than I thought it would be and the panel was very informative. There were 7 members on the panel who talked to students and staff about safety on Purdue's campus. The recent attacks spurred some safety issues among the community.
Some of the topics discussed were:
• The Safe Walk program - sponsored by the Purdue Police Department, this program offers assitance to students who do not want to walk alone
• Emergency call boxes - located all over campus, these phones connect to the police department
• Self-defense classes - these are available to all Purdue students
After the event, Jessica Hoffman said she felt that Purdue is a safe campus but there is always a need to make students aware of the services that are available to them. She added that the recent attacks were horrible and that Purdue Student Government is doing everything they can to communicate with the police department and the Dean of Students to keep people safe on campus.
