The University has taken steps to ensure that our campus and surrounding community is a safe place for all students, employees and visitors.

• Current physical safety measures on campus include outdoor lighting and blue emergency poles that instantly connect users to Campus Community Police.
• The Safe Gryphon app is available free on the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android). It offers personal safety tools that are useful for everyone at all hours.
  • The Work Alone feature automatically checks in on you when you’re working by yourself and can trigger a call to your emergency contact if you fail to check in at set times.
  • Friend Walk sends your location in real time to a friend, so they can watch you as you walk to your destination. The friend can trigger a call to emergency services if needed.
