Campus Safety at Union
Union is dedicated to providing the safest possible living, learning and working environment for students, faculty and staff. From monitoring emergency telephone lines to providing nighttime trolley service on campus, the Department of Campus Safety is proactive in promoting safety and preventing crime. Campus Safety also has established a number of outreach, education and awareness programs for the College community.
Campus Safety officers are on duty 24/7. Other personal safety measures include a blue light emergency alert system; keypad locks for residences and Minerva Houses; the Union Trolley and walking escorts; new security cameras, improved campus lighting and public address system in 22 campus buildings; and a comprehensive emergency notification system.
The Emergency Response website outlines the College’s preparation for emergency conditions. Here visitors may register their mobile phone to receive text message alerts and updates in the event of an emergency, review the draft Emergency Response Policy and keep abreast of new safety-related initiatives. Campus Safety also provides information regarding OSHA, fire and lab safety, and parking on campus.
