Campus Safety

This year, The University of Scranton held a Campus Safety event during National Campus Safety Week to help educate students on how to stay safe throughout each semester.

The event held numerous demonstrations on the dangers of intoxication and taught people about the importance of never driving while drunk, as well as had tables with tips on how to stay safe on and around campus. Officers offered advice on theft prevention, safety in residence halls and reminded students that if they were ever in need they can utilize the Royal Ride. The Royal Ride van is a shuttle service the school provides to students in case they are ever out at night and need assistance home. It is available weekends starting at 10 p.m. and it runs until 3:00 a.m. University Police also offer safety escorts 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Campus officers gave their advice.

If you are going out at night make sure you always walk in groups
Utilize the royal ride if you are in need of assistance
