Our primary goal at Ball State University is to do everything we can to help you succeed in college and to help you prepare yourself personally and professionally.

This Web site offers you some timely and important information related to your personal safety, your responsibilities as a citizen of the university and Muncie communities, and what to do if you encounter unsafe situations. Please review the material carefully and talk about it with your friends and family. There are many references to people on campus who can answer your questions. I am also here to help and welcome your reactions.

One very critical fact you should understand is that the majority of situations in which college students' safety is compromised relate to the excessive and irresponsible use of alcohol. Please take care of yourself and others by making good choices when it comes to making friends and having a good time.

Best wishes for a highly successful, fun, and safe career at Ball State.

Sincerely,
