This week, the University of New Mexico will host the 4th Annual Campus Safety Week from Sept. 3 through Sept. 5.
Campus Safety Week is a collaboration between the President's office, the Women's Resource Center, the Dean of Students office, the LGBTQ Resource Center, the Office of Equal Opportunity, the UNM Police and the Campus Office of Substance Abuse Prevention.
“Safety Week provides our UNM community with resources, trainings, and workshops promoting a safer campus,” the UNM Dean of Students website said.
Events for this year include coffee with a cop, storm spotter training, a self-defense workshop, and a hands-only CPR training.
On Tuesday, the week kicks off with Health Science Center’s (HSC) coffee with a cop at 10:20 a.m., followed by a workshop titled “Working with disruptive students in the classroom” that will be held in the Dean of Students conference room at 1 p.m. A main campus safety walk will occur at 8 p.m that day, starting at Ballroom C in the Student Union Building (SUB).
A test of the emergency siren systems will also occur at 11:02 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 3.
On Wednesday Sept. 4, students and faculty on UNM Main Campus can have coffee with a cop at 10 a.m. at Dane Smith Hall. Then, a hands only CPR training will be held at Lobo A&B in the SUB at 1 p.m.
On the final day of campus safety week, a storm spotting training will be held at 10 a.m in SUB Fiesta A&B. Following that workshop, a self-defense workshop will happen at 1 p.m. in Johnson Center room 154. At the same time and in the same location, a bystander training for student employees will also take place.
Rounding out Campus Safety Week, an HSC safety walk will happen at 8 p.m., beginning at the HSC Bistro.
