  • Avoid walking or running alone, especially at night.
  • Let someone know where you are going and when you will be back.
  • Confine walking or running to well-lit, regularly traveled walks and pathways. Avoid short-cuts and stay away from shrubbery, bushes, alleyways, or other areas where an assailant might be hiding.
  • Do not wear headphones.
  • Wear a safety vest when walking or running at night.
  • Carry a whistle.
  • If you are approached by a suspicious person or vehicle, run away in the opposite direction. Try to get a description of the person or license tag number and report the incident immediately to Campus Safety or the St. Peter Police Department.
  • Alter your walking or running schedule so there is no set pattern or time established.

Emergency Plan - Situation Management

In its effort to provide a safe and secure environment for its students, staff and faculty, Gustavus Adolphus College has prepared emergency policies and procedures. Its purpose is to quickly assess emergency situations and, if necessary, to immediately notify the campus community of significant emergencies and/or dangerous situations involving immediate threats. Additionally, the goal of this manual is to avoid (through prevention) potentially hazardous situations, to minimize injuries and damages (through mitigation) when disaster strikes, and to resume normal operations (recovery) as soon as possible in the aftermath of an emergency.
