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.

Drop off gifts or monetary contributions to Hirst Lounge in Wilson Commons December 3 to 5 between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., or to the Interfaith Chapel Office, room 211, by the morning of December 6.
