Our Security Team
Our Campus Security team provides security guards on duty all day, every day.
Our Security office is located in Tower Hall on our Residential Quad. Substations are also located on Historic Quad and at the Equestrian Center.
Students play a large role in the success of any security program and should always feel free to report any unusual activity. Many improvements to our security process have been made as a result of student feedback at student forums.
