In addition, community partners will be present to help students, staff, and faculty learn about safety resources available both on and around each campus.

Building Capacity and Empowering Safety Awareness on Campus
Join us for an interactive session focused on strengthening community safety through education, collaboration, and trauma-informed engagement. Learn how Community Safety is building capacity to support individuals experiencing homelessness and complex mental health challenges, while empowering staff, students, and faculty to respond with compassion and awareness. This training will equip participants with practical tools to recognize signs of distress, respond safely, and connect with campus resources — fostering a safer, more inclusive campus for all.
