1. Keeping Safe on Campus Stranger Danger By Andrew Wingfield Boise State University

2. Outside The Hall Know where the nearest Blue Light Phone is – These phones give you a direct link to Campus Security and Local Police (check this out for your campus) Walk in well lit areas If you must have headphones, leave one out – It is important that you hear your surroundings Walk with confidence – Attackers will prey on the vulnerable

3. Outside The Hall Stay in a group if possible If you must travel alone, think about calling Campus Security for an escort Keep important numbers in your cell phone and on speed dial – Family, Friends, Campus Security, and the RA On- Call Number for your building Avoid bushes and parked cars where a predator could be hiding

4. Entry Doors Follow your campus entry policy and do not let strangers into campus buildings Predators dont always look the part – A Predator could look like a college student that belongs in your hall – Just because they look like they belong doesnt always mean they do – If something makes you uneasy, call Security or the RAs NEVER PROP EXTERIOR DOORS OPEN

5. Once In Your Room Lock your door: – When you are home – When you are in the lounge – When you take a shower – When you leave to go to class – When you go to check your mail – ALWAYS If you carry your key and lock your door, it is harder to have items stolen
