Student Body President Sean Anderson campaigned on a platform that included campus safety when he was elected this spring.

This week is EIU Safety Week, a program put together by Anderson to get input from students on safety issues that need to be addressed. Students will be able to voice their concerns to University Police, the grounds crew and Student Government.

“EIU Safety Week is an event that I put together after I had received many safety concerns from students across campus,” Anderson said. “There have been so many students and faculty that have been supportive and very helpful in the success of this week.”

There are a few spots on campus that have already been reported as being trouble spots.

“I have heard of a few areas, especially the Panther Trail and Greek Court,” Anderson said.

Anderson presented his plan at last week’s Student Senate meeting. Solutions to some of the problems Anderson pointed out could be installing more lighting and security cameras.

Anderson also presented to the Residence Hall Association. RHA representatives were to bring back the information on Safety Week to their respective halls.

“We are relying on hall councils to make sure there are representatives present,” said RHA President Carrie Muller.

A section of campus will be the focus of each night. Representatives from each floor of the residence halls, Greek Court, on-campus apartments and athletic team members have been asked to attend.

All students are encouraged to attend the event.

Student Senate members were asked to volunteer to help run the program.

“They (senate members and executives) will be out there each night interacting with the students, learning and listening to the students concerns and leading the students through campus.” Anderson said.

On Monday night, representatives from Greek Court and Carman Hall met in front of the 9th Street Academic Advising Center.

Today, the meeting will take place at 9 p.m. outside of Stevenson food court for areas west of Fourth Street, except for University Apartments.

Wednesday’s meeting will be held at 9 p.m. for those who reside between Fourth Street and Ninth Street on the South Quad, and on Thursday the meeting will take place at 9 p.m. in the Newman Center parking lot for students living in on-campus apartments.
