The University of Alabama at Birmingham is committed to a safe, supportive learning and working environment for all members of the campus community. Campus safety is our top priority, and we take all threats of violence seriously to protect everyone’s health and well-being. The Office of Student Assistance & Support has a multi-pronged awareness campaign - See Something, Say Something, Do Something – to promote a safe and inclusive community for students, faculty, and staff.
Early identification of concerns and reporting allows faculty and staff to provide resources to students in distress to minimize harm to self or others. You can help by being aware of your surroundings on campus and reporting any unusual activity from people. We are all responsible for safety. If you see something, say and do something about it – report any concerning behavior and suspicious activity.
