Omaha, Neb. 鈥� 含羞草视频 has been named one of the top 50 safest small campuses by College Choice. The rating is an important measuring tool for those evaluating potential colleges.

鈥淭he issue of safety on college campuses is a major national discussion these days,鈥� says Dave Ferber, CSM鈥檚 director of safety and security, 鈥渁nd prospective students, and their parents, list campus safety as a key factor when choosing a college.

鈥淲e take great pride in being listed as one of the Top 50 Safest Small Colleges in America,鈥� says Ferber. 鈥淥ur Safety and Security Department does everything possible to ensure that our students have the safest possible environment in which to live, learn and work.鈥�

College Choice gave CSM high ratings in general safety, which looks at theft, assault, arson, and other offenses; and the women鈥檚 safety grade, which reflects the overall VAWA (Violence Against Women Act), including domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and sexual assault. The University scored a perfect 100 percent Anti-discrimination grade, which reflects the number of hate crimes reported in the past three years.

Most of the nation鈥檚 safest schools are small, private institutions located in smaller towns, according to College Choice. The organization reviewed not only the institutions, but the cities in which they are located and which surround them. Although CSM is definitely a small, private university, it鈥檚 located in the heart of Omaha 鈥� one of the region鈥檚 largest metropolitan areas.

Other data used to rate the schools came from the U.S. Department of Education, from the university and colleges鈥� websites, U.S. News & World Report, and The National Center for Education Statistics.

CSM鈥檚 dedicated security professionals patrol the campus 24 hours a day on foot, bicycle and car. Officers are trained to respond not only to criminal activity, but also to fires, and medical illness and injury. A text alert system is in place that would notify students in the case of a security breach on campus. Security will provide safe walks and vehicle assists to any member of the CSM community who requests them. The staff also works closely with local law enforcement, the fire department and EMS.

All campus facilities are secured, monitored and patrolled by Safety and Security Department personnel. Residential buildings are locked 24 hours a day and accessible only by electronic pass card holders. To gain after-hours access to any CSM building, a person must call Security and provide the appropriate CSM identification. CSM Safety and Security also provides new student orientation, resident advisor training and fire safety.

鈥淏ut safety doesn鈥檛 stop at patrols,鈥� says Ferber. 鈥淭he Safety and Security Department also educates the campus community on a variety of topics so students and employees can develop sound safety habits.鈥�

Two of CSM鈥檚 crime prevention and safety awareness programs were mentioned by College Choice.

For 鈥淚f I Was a Thief鈥�, security officers patrol the study areas on campus, handing out cards to students when they leave their belongings unattended 鈥� highlighting a prime opportunity for theft.

The 鈥淐lean Car Campaign鈥� urges all CSM community members to keep the interior of their car clean and to remove all visible items.

鈥淭hieves are much less likely to target a car if they don鈥檛 see anything to steal,鈥� says Ferber. 鈥淧revention is the best first step to take in ensuring the safety of our students and their belongings.鈥�
