Tip of the Week

Here are some helpful self-defense tips

Always trust your instinct.  If your gut is telling you something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t (your more perceptive than you think).  Go back to where you came from, contact campus safety or find people as quickly as you can.

Always travel in groups. Never walk alone at night.  Avoid “shortcuts”.  Criminals, like predators, try to isolate their prey from the herd. Groups are less likely to be confronted, so “buddy up” for the walk home.

Never trust your assailant. Criminals are cunning and can be extremely persuasive. Most likely they will approach you in a friendly manner and appeal to your common senses. No matter what they say or how convincing they are, never believe them. Contact Campus Safety immediately if in doubt.

Never leave the area. Your attacker needs to isolate you. In order to do that, they will use force or any persuasive maneuver to convince you that going with them is in your best interest. Put as much space between you and them as fast as possible.
