USF Campus Safety Week
Promoted by the Clery Center, in 2008, National Campus Safety Awareness Month was unanimously approved by Congress to encourage a public conversation on important topics in violence prevention at our nation's colleges and universities. In honor of National Campus Safety Awareness Month, the USF Department of Emergency Management and University of South Florida Police Department host the annual USF Campus Safety Week. Numerous safety related trainings are provided free of charge to the USF community throughout the week, and the week culminates in the annual USF Campus Safety Day event. The event provides an opportunity to educate the campus community on safety, disaster preparedness, and crime prevention.
