Stay Safe


There may be many dangers on Michigan State University's campus when it comes to sexual assault but there are still many ways to stay safe.
A number of safety resources can be found on MSU’s Website, through the MSU police, or the Counseling Center.
According to MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor, the university does “quite a bit” to prevent cases of sexual violence and help victims.
McGlothian-Taylor said that the MSU police work closely with the Counseling Center Sexual Assault Program, and have a sexual assault response guarantee, which can be found on their Website. MSU is the only campus she knows of with a “Safe Place” for victims of sexual assault and relationship violence. 
MSU also has over 150 “Green Light” emergency phones in parking lots and walkways on campus which can provide emergency calls to on-campus numbers, according to a 2005 university news report.   
Safety tips and services were offered by MSU police in a crime alert, following an alleged sexual assault on Nov 12.
