Annual campus safety walk

Student Government Association will partner with university police and facilities planning to host the annual campus safety walk Tuesday evening.

At the event, students and faculty will cross the main campus at night with a group of police officers to identify areas that pose potential safety concerns. Students are asked to brainstorm solutions for the unsafe spots, and those solutions are sometimes implemented as changes. 

The event is coordinated by SGA’s safety and student services committee, and will run begin at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at RSC 142. The event is expected to last no longer than two hours.

Free Karaoke in the RSC

The karaoke night is set from 6 to 10 p.m. Thursday at the grill and lanes, which is in the basement of the Rhatigan Student Center.

As part of the event, the grill and lanes will offer $1 fountain drinks and $2 Bud Light draws. For more info, call (316) 978-3479.
