The Department of Campus Safety strives to ensure a safe and secure learning and working environment for students, staff, faculty and visitors. The department consists of 10 professional
full-time and part-time Campus Safety Officers who are on staff 24/7, 365 days of the year. We are here to assist you in being successful and connecting you to resources on campus or off
campus if necessary. The Alverno community has the ability and responsibility to assist Campus Safety in maintaining a safe and secure environment by staying alert, being aware of
their surroundings and reporting suspicious activity.
Welcome
On behalf of the Campus Safety Department, I want to offer a sincere and warm welcome to all of our new and returning students, staff, and faculty, as well as to all visitors to our beautiful
campus.
The Campus Safety Department at Alverno College is available 24 hours a day every day of the year to help ensure a safe and secure place to learn, work, attend events, or just to visit. The 8
members of our professional staff of Campus Safety Officers work with all students, staff, faculty and visitors to Alverno’s 46 plus acres of campus. We serve as the first responders to
medical events and violations of federal, state, and local laws or college policies. We are also here to assist in accessing both internal and external resources for our community. Our
department is focused on a whole community approach to Campus Safety.
As part of the Alverno College community you have the ability and are asked to take responsibility to assist the Campus Safety Department in maintaining the safety and security of our campus.
While we work to cover the campus and surrounding neighborhood it is understood that we cannot be everywhere and see everything at all times. You can help by staying aware of your
surroundings and reporting suspicious activity or potential safety concerns to the Campus Safety Department as soon as safe to do so.
While we as a community find our campus in an era of new learning modes and social distancing; we ask that you help to keep everyone safe by following the guidelines provided through the
college on social distancing and use of personal protective items such as face coverings or masks. If you are unsure what the current policy is for an area you can look for signage or the
policy is available on the Alverno College Intranet and website for your review.
As the Alverno College Alma Matter says, this “is a place where ALL belong.” We believe that the diversity of Alverno College is a part of the beauty that makes Alverno the place
to grow that it has been and continues to be. I hope this is truly a place where you will find your true self and grow in your journey of life.
Finally, we in Campus Safety are here for you as our community. Please know that any of us are available to speak with you regarding any questions or concerns you may have.
Jason Pilarski, Director of Campus Safety and Security
