Safety & Support

You're never alone here. From Safety and Security's round-the-clock presence to the caring support of Student Life staff, help is always close — whether you're facing a safety concern, a personal struggle, or something in between.

Emergency Contacts & Immediate Help

In an emergency, call 911.

For campus-specific safety concerns — or when Security should know alongside emergency responders — call Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s 24/7 Safety and Security line: 731-394-2922.

In an urgent situation:

Fire: Pull the alarm, call 911, then notify Security. Evacuate immediately — do not use elevators.

Severe weather/tornado: Move to an interior room on the first floor, away from windows, until the warning clears.

Threat or violent incident: Call 911 immediately. If danger is imminent, run, hide, or fight as a last resort.

Injury or medical emergency: Call 911, then have someone notify Security with your location and the nature of the emergency.
