Crosswalk safety
The University is urging faculty, staff, and students
to exercise caution when using crosswalks near campuses. Look for a sign of
recognition that drivers see you and avoid using cell phones or personal
music devices while crossing. Use designated crosswalks only. Always walk
bicycles rather than ride them across and wear light-colored or reflective
outer garments at night.

Help make the holidays a bit brighter for those in
need by contributing to the “Gifts for the Giving Project”

Lounge in Wilson Commons December 3 to 5 between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., or to
