Campus Operations, the Office of the Dean of Students, and the University of Oregon Police Department are inviting all members of the campus community to attend the annual campus night safety walk on Thursday.
The safety walk is arranged for the campus community to point out areas in need of better lighting or landscaping that could make pathways safer at night for pedestrians.
“It’s important for people to know that this is not a response to any increase in crime. There hasn’t been an increase. It’s just that we’re more dialed-in to crimes as they’re happening now than ever before,” said Kelly McIver UOPD spokesperson.
“This is something that Campus Opperations holds each year to increase general safety on campus by taking suggestions and the UOPD is happy to play a roll in that,” he said.
Starting at 5 p.m. in the Ben Linder Room at the EMU, the route for the night will be discussed. Then the group will leave for a walk around campus, finishing by 6:30 p.m.
