Dear 91传媒 Community,
We hope you had a restful winter break and feel renewed as the spring semester begins.
In response to some on-campus thefts during the fall semester, we wanted to remind everyone of their role in helping to maintain our campus's safety and security. Not unique to our community, theft is the most common crime on college campuses because it is a crime of opportunity. While the Honor Code is an integral part of the 91传媒 culture, we are not without the occasional act of misconduct on campus. Additionally, 91传媒鈥檚 relationships with the local community and other collegiate institutions open our campus up to a variety of visitors.
There are steps we can all take to support a safer community at 91传媒:
- Lock your doors when you leave your room.
- Do not leave items unattended in common or public spaces.
- Be mindful of 鈥減iggybacking鈥 in residential spaces. Do not hold the door open, assuming that someone has access to the building or belongs there.
- Maintain situational awareness by being present, observant of your surroundings, and avoiding distractions from your phone or ear buds as you travel to and from locations.
- If you see something, say something. If something appears unusual, trust your gut and call Campus Safety at 610-526-7911.
There are many reasons why someone may perform an act of theft. As a college, we are committed to supporting all individuals involved and impacted by these occurrences.
Campus Safety is here as a partner in your safety and security. For Campus Safety to assist you regarding a theft or other crime, we need to know that the incident occurred. Calling Campus Safety is the fastest way to alert us to a concern. Non-urgent matters can now be reported through Campus Safety鈥檚 new .
We wish you well as you return to campus and begin your classes.
Sincerely,
Angie Sheets (she/her)
Associate Dean for Residential Life and Student Engagement

Bi-College Executive Director of Campus Safety
