A Message from Kara

 

As many of you may be finding you are on-campus more often this quarter, I wanted to take a minute to remind you about the campus safety services provided to you by the UW Police.

 

Husky NightWalk (206-685-9255)

Uniformed security guards operate 6:30 pm to 2 a.m., seven days week, 365 days a year (excluding holidays), providing a walking escort to community members within the campus locations and the residential area north of 45th St. Guards can also assist, with proper identification, building and office lockouts, as well as jump start dead car batteries.

 

NightRide

NightRide is a U-PASS sponsored shuttle service for students, faculty, and staff. Passengers can board the NightRide from any one of six on-campus stops and be dropped off at any requested location within the two shuttle zones. Schedules are available online.

 

Also, if you ever need non-emergency help while on-campus, contact the UW Police at: 206-685-8973.

 

Best,

 

Kara Fichthorn

Director - Evening MBA Student Affairs
