BE AWARE OF THIS:
 | In the library backpacks are easily stolen. Either keep your bag in eyesight, or don’t leave your wallet/valuables inside it. Laptops are also easy prey. |
| In the parking lots, windows get smashed and items taken. Don’t leave any valuables where it can be seen from outside. |
On campus crime prevention awareness:
If your office has an alarm code pad and you have the authority to set it, REMEMBER to alarm it prior to leaving for the end of the day. This will reduce the chances of your office or area being burglarized.

CIVILITY: Treat each other with respect. Treat every member of the community as an adult. Respect everyone’s ability to learn as a student or teach as an instructor. Things to avoid are sarcasm, dismissing the abilities of each other, or making assumptions based on a person’s age, appearance, etc…Make it clear that you value each other as individuals. No one can expect to be respected if everyone doesn’t treat each other with respect.

THE
ADVENTURES OF OFFICER BOB After a party one evening, Drunken Derek and
Unlucky Lilly were going home. Drunken Derek had a few drinks and did not
want Unlucky Lilly to drive. About one mile down the road, Drunken Derek was
pulled over by Officer Bob. Drunken Derek tells Unlucky Lilly, “Don’t say
one word. I’ll do all the talking.” Officer Bob walks up to the car and
asks, “Do you know why I pulled you over?” “Why no,” says Drunken Derek, “It
seems your registration is not current. Were you aware of this?” inquired
Officer Bob. “No. I had no idea” replied Drunken Derek. Unlucky Lilly speaks
up and says, “Yes you did, I’ve been telling you to take care of that for
two months now.” “Be quiet please!” Drunken Derek yelled politely. “Well,
sir, that’s not the only reason I pulled you over. Did you know that you
have a tail-light out as well?” asked Officer Bob. Drunken Derek with the
best innocent face he could muster says, “Why no, officer. I had no idea.”
Unlucky Lilly then says, “Derek, please, you got a ticket for that last
week. You knew.” “Be quiet please!” Drunken Derek says with a growl. Officer
Bob then leans in the window and says, “Excuse me, does he always talk to
you like that?” Unlucky Lilly then informs him, “No, Only when he’s drunk.”
