National Campus Safety
Awareness Month
September 2008
Since 2005, Security on Campus, Inc. has partnered with universities and colleges across the country to designate the month of September as National Campus Safety Awareness month. This year a bill sponsored by Rep. Joe Sestak, H.Res.1288, supporting the goals and ideals of National Campus Safety Awareness Month, passed the House on July 31. Among the 50 Members who signed onto the bill were Victim's Rights Caucus Co-Chairmen, Rep. Jim Costa and Rep. Ted Poe. During the month of September, universities and colleges are encouraged to focus on campus safety topics such as sexual assault, high-risk drinking, and hazing.
