SNACK & CHAT

Campus Safety Session - Emergency Preparedness
Monday, April 6, 2–3 p.m.
In-person: Commons, Worcester Room (2nd Floor) and Virtual option available.
Join us for an informative session with Captain Shockley of the Salisbury University Police Department, who will provide an overview of emergency preparedness on campus. This session will cover why preparedness matters, the types of emergencies our campus may face, how the University communicates during emergencies, and practical steps individuals can take to stay informed and prepared. Captain Shockley will also discuss different levels of emergency preparedness and what they mean for our campus community. This is a valuable opportunity to build awareness, ask questions, and better understand the resources and plans in place at Salisbury University.
Outreach Sessions
The Staff Senate Outreach Subcommittee hosted four outreach sessions this fall, providing staff with opportunities to receive updates, ask questions, and share feedback in a live discussion setting. Stay tuned for details on our Town Hall this spring!
