Safety Committee

Patrick Gagnon is the chair of the University Safety Committee which meets monthly. Members are appointed by the President to represent the campus community of students, faculty and staff. The Committee identifies and listens to safety concerns of the community, analyzes appropriate responses, and makes recommendations directly to the President and relevant campus departments. All members of the campus community are welcome to attend safety committee meetings in order to report safety concerns. Safety concerns can also be reported to the committee by  E-mail or by contacting any member of the safety committee.

Immediate safety concerns should be reported to Campus Safety and Security at 229-5555.

Meetings are held on the first Friday of each month September thru May.  It is requested that any new business to be added to the Agenda be forwarded to Amber Jaquith no later than the Friday before the next meeting.  Requests for the Zoom meeting invitation may also be directed to Amber Jaquith.
