LiveSafe

New CVM students walk the Esplanade. We love having our students back on the WesternU Pomona campus this week during Welcome Week and Welcome Back. New students from the College of Pharmacy enjoyed getting their white coats and name badges from The Campus Store, new students from the College of Veterinary Medicine walked the Esplanade from session to session, and second-and third-year CVM students were on campus enjoying a break from a short orientation.

Safety. In everyone’s hands

This app was founded in 2013 and is now used across the United States at various higher education institutions.

It allows the campus community to report anything unusual and campus security will see it on the dashboard. Conversely, messages can be sent to either all Live Safe users or those with in a set geo-fence (think chemical spill).

Safety Map:

This map allows our community, as well as visitors, to locate WesternU parking lots and buildings.
