Dining Services kicks off safety week
Students can learn about commonly overlooked safety issues during the Dining Services’ second annual Safety Week starting today.
“This is just a chance after everybody settles in to actually look at the little things that make you safer on campus,” said Autumn Piller, Dining Services marketing manager.

Piller said she came up with the idea for Safety Week after last year’s mock emergency.
“It kind of sparked our interest to make sure that students are aware of safety,” she said.
This year’s safety week will include more information about environmental, food and Internet safety.
“We actually have a video on ways to protect yourself and what virus scans mean and everything like that,” Piller said.
Officials from Kent State Police, ResNet and Dining Services and the Department of Public Safety are helping coordinate safety week.
