Announcements appear with the most recent items first.
Several rooms in the Center for the Arts Building received water damage due to a burst pipe on July 4th. Renovation of the spaces is currently underway with the work lasting into the fall semester.
A small resource room/computer lab will be located in the music office behind the reception desk. Practice room space will be limited unfortunately to fewer rooms during the restoration period. This is to provide faculty with spaces to teach.
Students should consult with signage in the building for new locations of faculty offices and teaching studios. Further announcements will be posted as well.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

In order to help keep students, faculty and staff safe during their travels around the campus, the University Police provide several types of "escort services". Starting with nightfall and running until around midnight each night, students employed by the police department staff a program known as "SAFEWALK". Safewalk is a walking escort program wherein a team of two students walkers will meet you at any location within the central campus area and walk with you to your destination, provided it too is within the central campus area. All Safewalk personnel are dressed in highly visible yellow and black jackets and are radio equipped. Do not hesitate to ask for identification from the walkers. They will gladly show your their police department ID.
For more outlying areas, the police department also operates a student run "ride-van" between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. daily. The ride-van will take you to any destination on campus.
After the student run escort services have closed for the night, police officers and police aides provide escorts to the community. When planning on traveling the campus between 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. police personnel will take you to any on-campus destination. Because, however, emergency and urgent situations can occur at any given time requiring an officers' immediate response, citizens requesting rides with officers must plan ahead and be flexible. Delays in police response for rides do occur.
To summons the Escort Service one need only call 410-704-SAFE (7233) from any telephone.
