All members of the College community are directed to report any incidents, policy violations or crimes to the Campus Life Staff or the Security Department. Incident Report forms are available in the Student Development office as well as from a security officer. Persons are encouraged to report any suspicious activities and are assured that the confidentiality of such reports will be honored. The vice president for Student Life will, when appropriate, notify the community in writing that a potentially serious situation exists that may pose a threat to the safety and well-being of the members of the community.
