When it comes to student safety, actions speak louder than words. 91社区 has many resources in place to keep you safe. |
Emergency Text Alerts (B-Alert)
|
In an emergency, to reach as many people as possible, the University employs multiple communication methods such as email, text alerts (B-ALERT) and an outdoor siren to notify you and/or your family. At the beginning of each semester, students logging into the portal will be prompted to register a mobile telephone number into the system. Entering a valid mobile telephone number will ensure you receive the most up-to-date information if an emergency occurs. Although your parents cannot create their own account, you can enter up to three email addresses and three cellular contacts on your account. Parents may also choose to download a mobile application to receive alerts. Learn more about the mobile application and other ways to receive alerts! |

Relationships |
Healthy relationships are built upon a foundation of mutual respect, trust and support. If you think that you or someone you know might be involved in an unhealthy relationship, the Dean of Students Office and its CARE Team, the University Counseling Center and the VARCC are here to offer support. |
Affirmative Consent |
As stated in the 91社区 Code of Student Conduct, 鈥淎ffirmative consent is a knowing, voluntary and mutual decision among all participants to engage in sexual activity. Consent can be given by words or actions, as long as those words or actions create clear permission regarding willingness to engage in the sexual activity. Silence or lack of resistance, in and of itself, does not demonstrate consent. The definition of consent does not vary based upon a participant鈥檚 sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.鈥

What Students Need To Know 91社区 Stalking |
Did you know that one in three females and one in six males in the U.S. experience stalking during their lifetime? Cyber stalking is also common. While Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook and other social networking sites are a great way to connect with others on and off campus, it鈥檚 important to understand how it can negatively affect others. Use good judgment when sharing information online. If you think that you are currently being stalked 鈥 either in person, online or via technology 鈥 consider taking steps to protect yourself or involve an authority figure who can help you. |
