Welcome back Tigers! A new academic year is here, and the energy level is high across campus. It was exciting to see all the new faces arrive during move-in, as well as returning students who are eager to continue their Clemson Experience.
For the members of Public Safety – Police, Fire & EMS, Emergency Management and physical security – this time of year reminds us of the critical roles that we play in ensuring a safe and secure environment for you to live, learn and enjoy all that Clemson and your college experience has to offer. We take this responsibility very seriously and want to partner with each of you to co-create a vibrant atmosphere grounded in knowledge, understanding and awareness, leading to crime prevention and a safety mindset.

If you accidentally press the emergency call button in an elevator, speak to the person on the line and let them know you pressed the button in error. DO NOT LEAVE THE ELEVATOR without answering their questions.
