Safety

There is a wonderful opportunity for OLOL College students to attend a self-defense course at LSU. The 12-hour Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) System is a program of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques for women. The R.A.D. System is a comprehensive, women-only course that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and risk avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training. Courses are taught by nationally certified R.A.D. Instructors. The course is available to students, staff, faculty, and community members. OLOL College students are eligible for the same student discount as LSU students. Contact the LSU Wellness Education Department at 225/578-5718 for more information.

OLOL College students may also check out a copy of the "Police Safety Seminar" videotapes from our library. This video was filmed during the Safety Seminars that were offered to the public in 2002 by the EBRP Police Department. The video provides excellent personal safety tips and tactics.

Public and media attention to continued crimes in our community have many of us feeling anxious about our personal safety. Whether at home, in the workplace, on campus, or any other setting….the best precaution each of us can take is to remain aware of the surroundings at all times.    

Please make every effort to:

• Walk with a friend whenever possible. If that is not possible and you are uncomfortable, please call Security for an escort (765-8825). 

• Report your observations about any suspicious persons in or around the campus immediately to Security or the College Administration. 

• Use a buddy system. Make sure a family member, roommate or friend knows your routines. Tell someone if you are going to be late or going away.

• Notify the Health & Safety Office about broken lights, overgrown shrubs near walkways, telephones that don’t work, etc. Don’t assume that someone else will do this.  

• Read more about safety tips and policies in the Campus Safety and Security Booklet. This may be viewed on the college website or pickup a hard copy at the Office of Health & Safety.

Community policing or neighborhood watch programs are practiced very effectively in cities across the county. Campus Watch does the same here at Our Lady of the Lake College, constantly watching out for the safety of one another. Please note the information on Campus Watch flyers and brochures around campus. Copies are also available in the Health & Safety Office.
