October is SafeU Month @theU

This fourth week of SafeU Month is focused on physical and environmental safety. The division of Emergency Management in the Department of Public Safety offers a variety of trainings and resources that help staff, students and faculty feel prepared should an emergency occur on campus.

This third week of SafeU Month is focused on mental and emotional wellness—a call to have all U students, faculty and staff feel more connected to each other and to themselves. When you’re taking care of yourself first, you can be better prepared to care for others, including through bystander intervention.

Because of Fall Break, this week’s SafeU theme focuses on staff readiness, which includes building a Threat Assessment Team—a group of staff dedicated to addressing imminent threats to campus, from both inside and outside the university.

After dealing with a new challenge this past year—one that threatened her life—Utah Soccer goalkeeper Carly Nelson discusses her recent health scare, growing up in Utah as a lesbian and the positive impact she hopes to have on her friends, family and others.

The U’s School of Computing celebrates the 50th anniversary of its contribution to the launch of the internet.

October is SafeU Month at the U, and there will be dozens of opportunities to engage in safety awareness, education and training opportunities on campus.

The Tri-Ute Youth Leadership Conference comes to the U for the first time.

In the first-ever U Giving Day, more than $396,000 was raised from the university’s worldwide community.

Resilient U is bringing Elizabeth Cowley of One Love Foundation to campus on April 4.

The U needs to communicate as quickly as possible for your personal safety. Opting out of texts means you might not get critical safety information.
