Editor,
The UNM Women’s Resource Center is very concerned about campus safety. The latest attack on a student reminds us that campus safety is everyone’s responsibility. We commend the students and staff that assisted the woman who suffered the recent attack near the Anthropology Building. We would also like to thank ASUNM for their quick response to improve campus safety.
We suggest that the Campus Safety Walk be reinstated, as soon as possible, to help identify areas that need more lighting.
The Women’s Resource Center has already planned a free personal safety and self-defense presentation, which is scheduled for March 8 at noon in SUB Lobo A Ballroom. This hour-long presentation will be conducted by Impact Personal Safety from Santa Fe. It will provide information about staying safe, debunking safety myths and using an interactive tutorial on body language and verbal skills to prevent assaults.
We would like to remind the UNM community that the WRC provides crisis intervention and has extensive information and referrals. Call the WRC at 505-277-3716 for more information.

Director of UNM Women’s Resource Center
