We encourage everyone to take responsibility for the safety and security of themselves and others. We promote the crime prevention message through campus programs and literature distribution. We believe that publicizing crime and campus safety information helps make this campus safer. Timely warning reports of serious crimes, such as those listed below, are provided to the campus community. These crimes are reported to the campus community using "Crime Alert" bulletins, "Crime Alert" e-mails, Marketing & Communications e-mails, Blackboard Alerts and the World Wide Web. Information is also provided to the student newspaper, campus radio, campus television station, local news media, and/or other mailings. "Crime Alert" bulletins can be found posted on bulletin boards in both large and small living units, academic and nonacademic buildings, and the BGSU Department of Public Safety website.

Per the Jeanne Cleary Act, we make timely warning reports to the campus community of serious crimes, such as:

• murder
