Outdoor Fitness Center Survey

We need your opinion on the possibility of having an outdoor fitness court on campus.   This type of space can be an effective way to support mental and physical health.  The hope is to expand access to high quality, accessible recreational and fitness space on campus, but we need your input!  Could you take a minute to complete this short survey?  https://forms.office.com/r/jJcaa4QwqV.  

Campus Connect (Students Helping Students)

The Office of Student Conduct & Community Standards is excited to introduce Campus Connect, an initiative of the Best Foot Forward program. The goal of Campus Connect is to provide a quick and easy referral system for students to obtain assistance for fellow Pioneers who may be struggling for any reason.

In short, if you have a concern for another student (or yourself!), please accept the challenge and make a referral using the following web form: https://bit.ly/ascconnect. The information you share will be kept as private as possible and used to connect students to the appropriate campus personnel and resources. That’s it!

There are no restrictions to the type of concerns you can share. However, any information relating to an emergency, crime, or imminent threat should first be reported to University Police. Please contact the Office of Student Conduct & Community Standards with any questions you may have.

Be empowered. Be a Pioneer. Help each other!

Pioneer Trails During Hunting Season - University Police

Just a reminder to anyone that may be on the Pioneer Trails to be aware that early bowhunting season has begun with other hunting seasons to follow over the next couple of weeks and month.  

You should be aware that our neighboring landowners may be hunting nearby during this time. If you are on the trails especially during sunrise and sunset, we suggest you take steps to make yourself visible to hunters who are hunting on private property. Below are some safety measures to keep yourself safe while in the woods:

• Wear a blaze orange hat, vest or backpack
• Keep your dogs on a leash and put blaze orange on them as well  
• Make yourself known by making some noise as you walk or run by whistling or talking
• If you hear shooting nearby raise your voice to alert hunters of your presence
• Once a hunter is aware of your presence don’t make unnecessary noise to disturb wildlife, be courteous and avoid confrontations
• Stay on the trails

Shuttle Schedule for Classes

We appreciate your patience as the shuttle buses may be running slightly off schedule due to the campus road construction.
