• There is safety in numbers; use walkways that are heavily traveled. When facing a safety concern, call UT Police to request an escort to get you safely to your vehicle.
• If someone in a vehicle stops and asks for directions, answer from a distance. Do not approach the vehicle.
• Trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable in a place or situation, leave right away.
