- Stick to well-lit routes when walking at night, and let a friend know when you’re heading out.
- Stay aware of your surroundings—if you’re wearing earbuds, keep the volume low.
- If a situation feels off, move to a well-lit area or a public space.
- If you need help, use a campus blue light emergency phone to connect with a dispatcher who will see your exact location.
