Private Location (sign in to display)
View MapDetails
October is National Crime Prevention Month, and as many of our new Blue Jays are living away from home for the first time, we want to be able to provide them with resources and guidance to keep themselves and others safe. Safety Week is also a great opportunity for returning students to brush up on their situational awareness and learn tips for staying safe when living off-campus.
Secure Your Nest will take place October 2-6.

The walk is approximately 0.5 miles, spanning over 3 blocks. It will begin on 31st and N. Charles St. (in front of the 7/11 store), heading east to Guilford Avenue, and then west on 30th to return to the starting location.

Learn some basic self defense techniques in our personal safety class. All female-presenting students are welcome to join us to gain skills in awareness, prevention, risk reduction, and risk avoidance. This class will be facilitated by our Community Liaison, a certified R.A.D. class instructor, Jon Walter, who will share some information typically taught during official R.A.D. classes.

The Live Safe App is a valuable resource to have on your phone to connect to JHU Public Safety in an emergency or to report issues.
