Virginia Tech launches SafeWatch to further promote an inclusive community

To further support a diverse and inclusive campus community, Virginia Tech has launched "SafeWatch"- a new university program that promotes individual and collective responsibility among students, faculty, staff, and guests, and encourages them to incorporate the Virginia Tech Principles of Community into their interpersonal and intergroup relationships. Patterned after the "neighborhood watch" program, SafeWatch will promote understanding of university policies and community expectations related to harassment, discrimination, or similar behaviors, and provide a way to report instances when policies and expectations are not followed.
