Campus Safety Resources
Western Washington University is committed to providing an environment that is safe and where the well-being of all is paramount. The people who are Western care deeply about one another and strive to ensure quality life and learning experiences for its students, employees, and guests.
This website identifies a variety of potential issues that the Western community could face and provides a one-stop listing of resources available to address those issues. Most of the resources are available on the Western campus, however, in some cases the resource will be the service of an off campus partner.
We encourage you to become familiar with the numerous resources offered by Western. We further encourage you to be an active part of the caring Western community by looking out for others who may be struggling or dealing with a challenge and by reporting behaviors that may threaten one’s self or the safety of others.
The links below lead to a variety of resources and Western policies designed to help keep our campus safe.
