Campus Safety
Providing a safe campus for learning, living and working is one of UNCW's seven strategic goals. Each year, efforts to improve safety have grown exponentially as the university has implemented a number of initiatives, systems and protocols to ensure, as much as possible, the safety and security of faculty and staff. Among these are improved outdoor lighting and warning sirens, security cameras, intercoms, emergency call boxes, expanded dissemination and marketing of safety information, additional staffing and increased response capabilities of the police department and a comprehensive violence prevention and education program.
