Safe Celebrations

 

9 out of 10 students choose to watch out for friends during celebratory events and make plans to get home safely.

 

Preparing for celebratory events

MSU’s top priority remains the safety and well-being of our Spartan community — on our campuses and in our surrounding off-campus neighborhoods. The responsibility of keeping the greater campus community safe belongs to all of us.

With the Spartans moving on to the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA Tournament, we encourage you to take steps to stay safe:

  • When traveling around campus and East Lansing, choose well-lit, highly-traveled routes. If an area feels unsafe, leave. Trust your instincts.
  • Call 911 if you see anything suspicious or if you find a fellow Spartan in need. If you see something, say something. You can also text “MSUPD” along with your message to 274637.
  • Carrying an open container with alcohol in it - even if you put the cap back on - is illegal in both on campus and in East Lansing.
  • More than half of MSU students choose not to drink before, during or after watching MSU in the NCAA Tournament.
  • Have fun, but celebrate safely! This way our first responders attention can go to those people who truly need their help the most.
