Summer Student Resources

To Students Staying on Campus during the summer break:

For those of you who are going to be in Walla Walla and staying on campus, we wanted you to be aware of the limited nature of the services available.

Campus Security is available 24/7. Reach out for assistance at any time by calling 509-527-5777. Safety Escorts are available to your residence by foot or vehicle on and off-campus. Call Security any time to arrange pickup and drop-off.

The Health and Wellness Center closes on the last day of Spring Semester finals and reopens on the first day of Fall Semester classes. Students with health concerns should call Security for assistance. In an emergency, please call 911. For mental health emergencies, please call Walla Walla Crisis Response Team at 509-524-2999. A mental health emergency is any situation in which a person’s actions, feelings and behaviors can lead to self-harm, harm to others, or an inability to function in a healthy manner.

For questions and non-emergency situations, please call the Counseling Center 509-527-5195 and leave a message. We will return your call.

During the break, the Glover Alston Intercultural Center (GAIC) will have food assistance and clothes for students remaining on campus. The GAIC can be accessed via a swipe from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and assistance for access can be requested from Campus Security or Tebraie Banda-Johns.

SECURITY

• If you leave campus during summer, store your bicycle with Student Housing.
• If you leave your car on campus find out where you are supposed to park it and remove all valuables from it.
• Place valuables that you cannot take with you out of sight in your room/apartment/home and unplug all appliances before you leave.
• Park your car in a well-lit location and leave your keys and contact information with a trusted friend.
• If you stay on campus during the summer, be alert to any suspicious persons around the residence halls, bike racks, or parking lots.
• Call Campus Security or the Police immediately to report any unusual activity.

IF YOU LIVE OFF-CAMPUS AND ARE LEAVING FOR SUMMER

• Lock doors and windows securely.
• Turn your telephone ringers down low so a burglar won't be alerted to your absence by its ringing.
• Make your house/apartment look occupied; have a friend or neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers, set televisions and lights on timers, leave your blinds, shades, and curtains in their normal positions, and keep your lawn mowed and watered.
• Leave your phone number, address, and itinerary with a trusted friend so you can be reached in case of an emergency.
