"When it comes to a student’s priorities, knowing the locations of classrooms and dining halls outweighs finding the blue emergency boxes installed around campus, and downloading ride-share and meal delivery apps ranks higher than accessing safety apps."—Source: University Business
WHY THIS MATTERS:
Campus safety may not be a top concern for every student, but it needs to be a priority for every institution.

Their visibility on campus can make a big impact and their hard-wired nature makes them reliable. —Eduwire Editors
