As spring approaches, we鈥檇 like to take this opportunity to remind you of some health and safety tips to keep in mind.
- Remember to use the buddy system. Always walk with somebody,听don't leave friends alone while out at night, and remember to tell your听friends, family and/or roommates听where you are going.
- If you are out at night, remember it is harder for drivers to see you. Dress for the weather and wear lighter colors.
- Police officers and other emergency services personnel听work听to keep the community safe. Your assistance in maintaining a safe environment is appreciated.
- People who want to exploit others often take advantage of the party environment and hope to go unnoticed. So if you doubt someone's motives or are concerned about your or someone else's safety, keep an eye on the situation and know when to make the hard call for help.
- If you ever think a听friend is in danger due to alcohol or other drugs, call 9-1-1.
- Remember to be a good neighbor and keep your noise levels down. If you are hosting a party off-campus, please remember to sign up for the听.
- If you plan to leave town for spring break,听practice the same safety protocols you听follow in Boulder, which includes traveling in groups, looking out for friends, keeping hydrated, knowing your听limits and complying with the law.
Have a fun and safe spring!
