15. Table 17.2 Two Things the University Should Do To Improve Safety on Campus (N=93) Multiple responses from 93 of 95 (97.9%) students who completed the questionnaire

16. How to improve safety needs? What students said… More visible emergency lights (e.g., flashing lights, visible location). Place emergency number on campus phone at CAW Road safety - Improve safety at intersection for visually impaired students, and control speed on California Walksafe program – extend p.m. hours, phone number on key chain, revise pick up locations Training for RAs to deal with emergencies and counselling distressed students during off hours Campus safety promotion is important – use multiple means – both traditional and digital

17. Summary Most unsafe time – 6 p.m. – 10 p.m. Priority groups for campus promotion – young and on campus students More on campus students than on campus students were aware of campus services and were feeling unsafe More off campus than on campus students perceived safety is a concern. Only 26% (n=53) reported safety incidents to campus police. Brief interventions (safety displays & slogan contest) did not yield significance in safety knowledge gained. Need ongoing and multiple way to instill safety culture on campus Collaboration among campus partners to promote safety for all students Ongoing monitoring and evaluation needed
