Campus Safety

 

Stay Safe at the Forever Red Homecoming

Homecoming is a time to celebrate our WSSU pride, reconnect with friends and classmates, and honor the traditions that make being a Ram so special. As you enjoy the festivities, we encourage everyone to make safety a priority and look out for one another.

WSSU Police and Public Safety are working alongside local law enforcement, fire departments and emergency medical services to help ensure a safe and enjoyable homecoming for all. You’ll see an increased presence of public safety personnel throughout the weekend.

Homecoming Safety Tips:
  • Download the Rave Guardian app. This app allows you to have two-way texting with Campus Police and enables you to send anonymous tips about dangerous situations.
  • Be prepared for a cashless experience. WSSU is now a cashless campus for things like tickets and parking. This will enhance your safety. Be sure to bring your debit and/or credit cards with you.
  • Stay sharp. Don’t let the excitement make you lose focus.
  • Be aware of your surroundings. Know who’s around you and where you are, just in case. If anything seems off, report it to campus police immediately.
  • Watch your drink. Don’t leave your drink unattended, and if you do, toss it and get a new one.
  • Avoid ticket scalpers. Get your tickets from approved vendors or the WSSU Ticket Office to avoid getting scammed.
  • Make a plan. You can check out the full Forever Red Homecoming schedule here.
  • Stick with your group. Go out in a group, decide on meet-up spots, and check in with each other throughout the night.
  • Don’t isolate yourself. Avoid being alone with anyone you don’t know or trust.
  • Charge up. Make sure your phone is fully charged.
  • Avoid taking rides from strangers. Stick to trusted rideshare services.
  • Don’t drink and drive. NC State law prohibits drinking and driving, so call a friend or use a rideshare service.
  • Report suspicious activity. Save the WSSU Campus Police number (336-750-2911) in your phone contacts and use it if you see something concerning.

Safety is everyone’s priority. Let’s have fun but remember – safety comes first.

In case of emergency, contact WSSU Police at 336-750-2911. And remember: If you see something, say something.

We can’t wait to see you at WSSU Homecoming.
