Public Safety
Warren Wilson’s small, tightly knit campus is a safe one. Department of Public Safety officers help ensure a safe environment for the College community and its guests. Emergency phones with blue beacons are located in campus parking lots. During Orientation, students will meet the Public Safety staff, learn the location of the emergency phones and discuss ways to keep Warren Wilson College a safe community.
All buildings on campus are equipped with fire alarms and fire extinguishers; residence halls have smoke detectors in each room.
In addition to their primary role, the Department of Public Safety also provides these additional services;
- Escort Program: Any member of the Warren Wilson community may request an escort at any time.
- Fire Safety: Education and drills.
- Parking: Parking permits cost $50 for the year. All students (including first-years) may bring cars to campus.
- 失物招领:学生可在公共安全处随时查询遗失物品。
Safety in our Environment
One of the most compelling benefits our students receive is access to our 1,100 acre campus in the Blue Ridge mountains. We know though, that proximity to farm animals and wildlife can be frightening at first to some students. This is why we educate students about safe protocols related to the cows, pigs, and bears that are part of our mountain home.
