Students, your safety and the safety of our entire campus community is our highest priority. To ensure everyone—especially residential students—has the opportunity to participate fully, the upcoming safety training has been rescheduled:
When. Thursday, September 25, 4-5 p.m.
Where. OCC Dining Rooms A-B
We made this change after realizing that many of you would have had class conflicts on the earlier date and might have missed a significant portion of the training. By moving it, we hope to ensure that every residential student can benefit from this vital session. This training provides practical safety procedures and clear guidelines that could make a real difference in protecting lives during unexpected events. Attendance remains mandatory for all residential students, as this is not only about your personal safety but also about safeguarding our entire community. Food will be provided during the session. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Your presence matters, together, we can build a safer and stronger campus. We look forward to seeing you there.
