Messiah actively promotes safe learning and living environment
Issues related to campus security and safety
on college campuses have been widely discussed
since situations like the tragedy at
Virginia Tech and the devastating tornado at
Union College dominated national media
coverage. Messiah College, like many other
institutions across the country, observed the
colleges’ responses while carefully considering
how our own crisis management plan
could be strengthened or altered to help
ensure that Messiah is well equipped to
respond quickly and effectively to an
emergency situation of any proportion
on campus.
In addition to an effective and efficient
response, Messiah also has a responsibility to
respond in a manner that reflects our faith
commitment and our love for one another as
a Christian community. Messiah College is
committed to act prayerfully in a crisis with
evident compassion, responsibility, honesty,
and integrity, and in a way that will honor
the God we serve.
Parents play an important role in
reinforcing for their students the importance
of taking appropriate actions to help ensure
personal safety. (The partnership between
parents and the College is so important that
Messiah’s Department of Safety created a
section on their website with advice just for
parents.) While having a crisis
management plan in place to guide an
emergency response is critical, Messiah
recognizes that it is also equally important
to be proactive in equipping the campus community with information and resources about personal safety. From purposefully placed campus call boxes, to free first aid classes, to an onsite counseling center, Messiah College is committed to creating and maintaining a safe living and learning environment for its students, employees, and campus guests.
